If your house is A or B class, you should definitely spring for something nicer like selectblinds.com but you don't need top-dollar, 2-inch plantation blinds in custom colors.If tenants ruin them, you deduct from their deposit just like you will for flooring, paint, appliances, landscaping, etc.

This included new 4x6 beams and we raised the house a total of 8 inches to allow for access for the remodel and future crawlspace access.

Brush up on code requirements: in basements you're looking for egress windows that are 5.7 sq feet or more openable (3ft by 3ft casement style windows work best), and ceiling heights 6ft 8 inches or greater (as little as 6 ft 4 inches is ok under ductwork and beams though)3.

Plan out the kitchen space to the INCH.

The house is 77 years old, 1050 sq/ft, block and beam with 100% brick veneer, needs about $55,000 in additional improvements and has foundation problems (rear of house sits 7 inches lower than the front). 

We have even had tenants cuss out the inspector for failing a house over a minor infraction (grass was about one inch higher than the inspector felt it should be)

I won’t be surprised if I see a box for a new 70 inch TV and Micro wave in the trash this week N.Y is such a landlord unfriendly state , even worse since tenant friendly laws were enacted this past June.

The same people get mad when the price of Newport’s ,booze , dog food for their pit bull and lotto tickets inch up but they still buy all that junk anyway .

When you are talking that scale you are also talking about a small compliment of attorneys , contracts 4 inches thick , bonding , and construction managers . 

Most manufacturers charge the same price for any sizes up to 101 unit inches, which is the width + height.
