But the For Rent sign in the window generated the most leads.

We schedule everyone in a 1-2 hour window 10-15 minutes apart.  

Took the house down to the studs, new electrical, plumbing, furnace, some new ductwork, new windows...new everything.

Side note- they have already dropped the ball on me once approving vinyl windows and then making me tear them out and replace them with traditional wood windows.

What I noticed on this particular street is that most of the neighbors own their home, very few bars are on the windows and lastly the local power company is almost never on this street disconnecting and reconnecting services.

Additional things: windows look old though functional, exterior house trim needs painting, replace sink vanity in bathroom.. not sure how to calculate the cost of this. 

The two biggest things investors can do on a preventative basis is to install vinyl siding on any stick frame home that doesn't have it and replace the windows on any home that's still go the old school wooden windows.

If you are working with a short savings window (<3-4 years), the extra you would get in the market or other more vulnerable accounts is minimal and wouldn't really outweigh the increased risk, in my opinion.

So I thought I’d see if they’d like me to knock a few bucks off their rent and I’ll take the 3rd floor Since it’s located downtown and has 3 of the four walls as windows looking out (ie great views), it seems like it would be great for shared office space (think, “weWork”).

It says it has vinyl windows but its wood windows from 1926.
