Therefor, I don't think you can give any general ranges for any of these items.It also depends on the quality of the item that was installed in the first place...and who did the installation.On top of that, items like furnaces, which demand maintenance (changing filters regularly) will have a shorter "shelf life" in rentals since tenants are notorious for not maintaining them.

hi takeshia from " elvis country"....lol. wholesaling is a good part of the flipping houses and RE world. however, each state has its laws regarding wholesaling. i would tend to believe a real estate attorney from the area on his or her opinion. i wouldn't say something is illegal if you can get a license to do it, its just illegal to not have the license. then we get into the gray area of exactly what wholesaling is. if you find a seller, and put them in touch with a buyer for their house, you are acting as an agent. without a license, that is illegal. but, if you find a seller, YOU get the house under contract to buy, and put in the contract your right to reassign the contract, that is wholesaling and might NOT be illegal. in that case, you are not acting as an agent because you are not bringing two parties together. you are actually contracting to buy an item, but then exercising your right to sell that contract which does have monetary value. just like a corporation creates a stock certificate and sells it on the stock market, it is just a piece of paper with monetary value that you are selling. please check with at least one other real estate lawyer and explain the process completely. show them how you would not be acting as an agent between buyer and seller but as an actual purchaser looking to sell the asset you have created. that may make the difference.

We processed their application, the qualified and signed a lease for June - then they went home and we went back to work knowing we had a tenant.Since I've rambled on enough in my first two posts, I'll get straight to the pictures this time.Note that these pictures were taken at 98% complete; the following items were outstanding:pulls/hardware on the kitchen cabinets;black faceplates and one black 4-way switch for the media/accent wall had not arrived - you will see the "obviously-out-of-place white" covers and switches in the photos;the work surface over the laundry pair had not yet been installed;the handrail on the stairwell had not been installed (we usually leave them off until the movers are finished).Let us start in the kitchen:Then move on to the dining room:... and into the living room:Next, down the hallway to the laundry and bath:The laundry also doubles as the communications room and holds the patch panel for all the CAT-5e network jacks and the entrance for the fibre-optic cable from the service provider.We went with a clean and modern look in the bath - but did choose not to use tile.Next we head upstairs to the bedrooms on our new stairs - a two height landing with hardwood stair treads.Both bedrooms have a sloped ceiling along the front wall and in the walk-in closet ...

Might help to lay some of those items out so you can develop an attack plan to get your building leased up.Think of some complimentary businesses -- if you want to put another hair salon on one of the floors, have a hair salon on floor 3, or possibly have the 3rd floor dedicated to hair/body care -- IE build out 500-600 sq ft to one hair stylist wanting to go out on his/her own - get an esthetician to take additional space, a massage therapist, pilates or yoga studio, physical therapist, etc-- have them all on floor 3 if you have the room or floor 2 etcGo visit your insurance agents in town, accountants, attorney's, sell them on moving to your place, have lunch with them, take them coffee/donuts etc - sell the place yourself, I certainly would not pay marketing for a broker nor sign an 18 mo contract with one.
