Tenant pays a flat rate which includes W/D access, cable, electric, and water.

For a few of the multi-familys and a couple commercial projects, I commisioned art murals by very highly professional muralists to do large blank walls both interior (like the middle landing on a switch-back staircase) and exterior... usually trompe l'oeil painted-on windows and architectural features that weren't actually there.It was always wildly well-received and created a bit of a buzz, having articles written with photos in the local paper, and we were chosen to do a special small but high-profile project that was on local cable TV. 

They make a good plug and play NVR which all you have to do is run network cables from the cameras to the recorder, plug them in, and it begins recording cameras.  

This prevents the cable installer/satellite dish installer/etc from drilling holes on outside walls to every room (which is what happened in the house with the wrapped coax).Door slabs are cheap and easy to replace as opposed to a framed door...you may need a planer to get them to fit (plane both sides on hollow core doors to prevent splitting).Big box hardware stores are expensive...get an account with a company that supplies real estate investors and/or contractors for decent cabinets, appliances, and other basic supplies.

Tenant: Is there not a cable outlet in the master bedroom?

There are predictions for a V shaped recover all the way to a depression, 1930s-style.For a market "crash" to happen, we will need to see larger volumes of properties go back to the bank. 

How many of us like the cable company? 

Warren famously said he bought up as much Coca-Cola as he could because he realized that if they raised prices a single penny across the board, it would mean millions in additional profits - also because he predicts people will continue to drink Coke for a long time to come.So no, I don't invest in the stock market, but one type of company I might invest in today (or a couple months from now - lol) would be a company that produces fiber optic cable.

If you buy a duplex or multi-bedroom house, you could eliminate some or all of your mortgage/rent if you have full occupancy, maybe even some or all of your utilities/cable/internet if you play it correctly.
