There's lots of styles.

I did pay 1/2 point for the line annually so one of my 5 mil lines I cut a check for 25k at renewal. then only paid interest as I put it out and it was bank rates  5 to 6% in those days... so not sure what they are promising the institutional investors.. but those who were my competition back in the day and could not get bank lines like I had  ( 20 mil) they would raise funds PPM style paying 9 to 12% and when the worm turned they got killed. 

There are local buy/sale sites where folks sell stuff like furniture, cars, baby clothes, etc. 

In Chicago, probably somewhere between $30-80/sf, depending on specific location, types of contractors, whether you self manage or not, level of finishes, time of year, style of house, specific scope of work, etc. 

Some styles looks close to real wood plank.

Here is an example from ours:APPLIANCES.Appliances included in the rental of the premises, as noted in the rental agreement, such as a refrigerator, range, dishwasher, clothes washer or clothes dryer, belong to Landlord.If Tenant wishes to use these appliances, Tenant agrees to use them properly in accordance with manufacturer instructions and assumes all responsibility for their care and cleaning.In the event there is a malfunction of an appliance or an appliance is in need of repair, Tenant agrees to notify Landlord in a timely manner and in writing.If Tenant wishes to use their own appliances, Tenant agrees to contact Landlord in advance to obtain prior written approval and instructions, as the removal and installation of appliances must be done with care to prevent damage to the appliance and/or building.We always place water alarms near washing machines, hot water heaters, and under the kitchen sink.

From clothing to insurance to lenders, shopping is not fun.  

Hi Mike, a typical 4000 sq ft home in MN will consume on average $100 per month of electricity  (about 800 kwatts) and $500-$600/month for gas in winter, $300/month in the spring and fall and $60/month in summer for water heating, cloth drying and cooking.

So as a result over the past year I have taken matters in to my own hands and started investing in the stock (currently learning to trade options) market, and also working on beginning a clothing line with a close likeminded friend of mine.

I did some city data records searches of the areas and they are predominantly white single family areas with no shell casings or dime baggies on the ground.in fact the first house i am buying is a cottage style on a dead end street and would even stay in it myself.hopefully tampa will continue to grow and clean up and this will work itself out for me over the long term. next question is how to defer any taxes from the income i get because i am a foriegner?
