Thanks Joshua!  I will.  Great podcast!  Congratulations!   You are the first celebrity I've ever talked to.  Lol.  I was in college with Aaron klaunch (I think that's how you spell it). I believe his dad was or is the sheriff in columbus.  Woody.  Have a good Thanksgiving!

Cool.  Is that really a thing?  Just hang sheetrock over lead based paint?

I have been doing drywall for a long time.  I don't feel that hanging sheetrock over top or demoing to studs and then finishing could ever be cheaper than stripping wallpaper and coating what you end up with.  I would definitely do a test wall to see what you're in for.  I could be wrong I guess.  Good luck

Hey Dan and Egan.  I tried to reply earlier but posts got removed because I tried to mention contact info.  I figured out how to get my email on my profile you should message me there.👍. Or right here.  But don't mention anything about connecting or Mindy Jensen will get angry.  Lol. Jk..  

Awesome.  Thanks Chris!  I will look into them for sure.

Hello, I am looking to get into investing in real estate in or around Bozeman Montana. I am going to start with a long term live in flip/brrr/ house hack. With funds tied up in that, and some debt I am trying to pay down, I would like to find someone to partner with and or just offer my help to someone on their investments in exchange for learning more, and gaining experience with investing. The most daunting aspect of investing for me is the processes of buying, selling, legal, funding, taxes,. Etc. I have dabbled in almost all areas of construction and time permitting (I work full time) could tackle almost any remodel task I believe. Exceptions being, tasks too large or when a licensed professional is required. I also know many people in different trades, and could manage/communicate knowledgeably with sub contractors. If you are on the other side of things with knowledge of the investing but not so much on the rehabbing let's talk.

I have been doing drywall and plaster for a long time and you guys are right it's a big headache.  It's definitely a case by case basis for us.  Some wallpaper comes right off although there's always something to fix under it.  I bet a steamer would work well and I think there is a tool with spurs on it also.  I have never used either.  I believe we usually just spray with water and scrape with a drywall knife.  We would always be putting an entire coat of drywall mud over top of whatever we ended up with after attempting removal whether it be a thick full texture or sanded smooth.   The important thing is to get any wallpaper that is loose.  Quickest, I would peel/ scrape off what you can without killing yourself.  Use mesh tape with a setting drywall mud to fix any cracks or areas where the paper of the sheetrock has been compromised then coat the whole wall with regular all-purpose or topping compound.  Any places where the remaining wallpaper you left that is not glued well enough will bubble and you can scrape them off the next day and fill them in with more mud.  If you cut through the paper of the sheetrock cutting out these bubbles you should use the setting hot mud with mesh tape before coating with the regular sandable mud.  A couple of the really bad wallpaper jobs possibly over bad old lath and plaster we got off loose wallpaper and put a full layer of dryvit stucco mesh and plastered it.  Way easier but we use pigmented finish plaster so that was it, done. No paint or sanding.  Good luck.  Not sure I helped at all.  Lol.  I feel like I just made the sheetrock information over top of it sound pretty good. :)

I'm absolutely not an expert but for estimating I would go conservatively 650.  

I saw a 3 bed 2 ba 1330 sq ft condo for 925 in East Helena.   It looked to be in pretty good condition.   An avid boater or fisherman who goes to canyon ferry might pay alittle more than average.
