Doesn't help your property value but your tenant quality will improve.I put stainless steel appliances, new window AC units in my property in the North End.

Hello Everyone,I accidentally got into real estate when I was 20 and dropped out of college. Up to that point, I had been saving money for tuition, so when I dropped out I had a nice little pile of cash that wasn't be...

We used to compete against their marching band when I was in High School. 

My background is in construction owning a steel stair manufacturing company in the Chicago area.  

You'd think it would be simple, but the world is full of agents who want to show houses $100,000 more than the price band requested, or who will show a 3 bedroom when you've asked to see 4 bedrooms.I've told agents I won't buy in the *** area and then had them bring me 6 listings to look at, and 4 of them are in the *** area.

@Mike B. and @Scott McIntosh, thanks for the advice on Qualified Opportunity Funds. 

So agree NOW as to how to handle A, B, and C before the s*** hits the fan (it always does).Then have a lawyer tweak it.

The common terminology and approach in the industry for partials is to define schedules A, B, and C:Schedule A: Borrowers Schedule - The total remaining payments on the note at the notes rate. 

That is from about 7 years ago at the bottom of the recovery cycle for class B and even then was mostly about 8 caps.

Hopefully somebody who is closer to you geographically could help you out on that.As far as spreadsheet calculations, I use lots of if/then formulas and I set it up like so:Living Room Dimensions :   15      20        = b2*c2Item       Required           Price                 Calculated Estimate        Actual   Over/UnderFridge          Yes              $900               If B2=Yes,C2,0                     $872.62    =e2-d2Carpet (sq ft) Yes            $3.75               If B3=Yes, c3*(bold above),0 $4625.00  =e3-d3Tile (sq ft)      0                $5.50               If B4=Yes, d48(bold above),0  $0               =e4-d4This allows me to quickly go through column B and choose yes/no and have it calculate materials for each room based on dimensions I've entered in a list above.
