You health and safety is not something to take lightly, though.

All of my flips get mosaics, granite, and under cabinet lighting.

I too feel I am over weighted in stocks and that the market overall has done poorly over the last decade (hence my interest in alternative investments).

Tenant called me on Saturday saying the bathroom light wasn't turning on.

you will probably find these in the less than desirable neighborhoods. there are couple of these places near me.literally you could outfit 30 units in a few weeks i wish i had more houses I would buy more lights and faucets.from the street it looks like a bunch of bums selling junk so keep your eyes peeled and dont be afraid to investigate bums selling junk especially if you spot a box truck that means a pallet or two of stuff that could be your guy

In the office building where I work, we were able to shave about 10% on lighting expenses by allowing the janitorial staff to clean during the day (and make noise in the early evenings) so the building goes dark at night.

Make sure you have a good portable light source, because you won't get much daylight in there (unless the roof is gone) ...Be prepared for critters ... they find a way in where people can't squeeze in.

The light rail will be going through the NoDa area and out to UNCC so that is a draw there as well.If you are looking for a newer home with good cash flow.

For family, I take many losses but the gain is their wellbeing which out weights the losses any day.

Well It is Semptember and as I mentioned before I am a UPS driver when halloween rolls around I am not looking forward to that general meeting when management tell us to "kiss your families good bye you will see them after the holidays"I need (we need) to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel and someday I will be home.
