@Aaron K. Oh the removal was a pain! It just didn’t completely rip the walls. It looks like it is all removed (I can see all the drywall smoothly) is there something I can do to ensure it is all gone? I have lightly sanded and wiped down.

Does anyone have any experience with drywall that bubbles when pained/primed? Just bought our first property and there was 80s wallpaper in the kitchen and bathrooms (yuck). Removal was fair but there was some rips in the drywall. Now when I have tried both priming or just going in with paint the drywall is bubbling in some places (not just where the wallpaper ripped the drywall). I’ve looked into different types of primes but am unsure what to use! Also, any recommendations on how to repair the bubbles would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the replies and tips! Took a few pieces to Lowe’s and it definitely requires a certain knack. Positioning and the angle was a huge factor. I believe because I purchased the flooring from a flooring direct store (it was $1 cheaper) it has proven to be a little more difficult. We’re making better progress now. 

Just purchased my first property and chose vinyl plank for the floors. Everywhere stated how DIY friendly it was. We have found it to be the complete opposite. Has anyone had any problems with LVP before?? The main problem is getting the tounge and groove into the long end at an angle but then we are finding it borderline impossible to slide the board or get the tongue and groove into the short end. 

I stumbled upon the BP Podcast episode 357 in which they discussed focusing on increasing net worth instead of cash flow when focusing on single family for buy and hold rentals. How would I determine if a property is still a good deal considering negative ROI and cash flow? What are some of the logistics when hunting for increasing net worth with less focus on cash flow?

I was listening to the BP podcast episode 357 and the whole idea of not prioritizing cash flow but focusing on increasing net worth instead. I have primarily used % cash on cash ROI and cashflow for metrics when running the numbers on buy and hold. How would one run the numbers to determine if a property is a good deal despite not cash flowing for a buy and hold?

Hello wonderful people of BP!

I was running the numbers on a potential investment property in the rental calculator. In the analysis, the cash on cash return appeared as "Inf%". What does that mean?
