I rented a two bedroom in 1977 on Cook Book Lane in Ft Mitchell. 

If you could put a little curved shelf to the left of the cabinet above the stove on which one could put cookbooks or something decorative it would be an inexpensive way to make that area look more finished. 

In my cookbook, too many chefs will spoil the stew. 

I am also a cookbook author with books on Amazon about home food preservation.

You get a cookbook with a recipe that looks good, discover a great fried chicken meal, and make your grocery list of ingredients to make a meal for your family.

I realize there is no recipe / cook book for what will work.  

My girlfriend and I were thinking of maybe a wine rack or cookbook holder. 

The problem is that most folks don't follow the cook book because it's work.

People cook books to benefit themselves - to look good with lenders and buyers.You need to see the gross rent, the expenses  - take one form the other and you get the NOI - divide that into the  the asking price to get the CAP rate.Buyers and Sellers are lairs - get the facts, make em prove it and make an offer based on you desired return.

This is like asking someone if they liked a movie, unfortunately, two people can walk away with a totally different outcome and view point.. the info at Dave's bootcamp is enough to get someone going and to make offers on up to 200 units and understand what they are doing the whole time, which is really all you need, there are many places, like bigger pockets to get all the information needed to accomplish this same goal, but like following a recipe in a cook book, what is better, the cook book with all the info you need to follow, or the chef standing there next to you making sure you use the exact precise ingredients?
