Hey Guys,  I was wondering if anyone has any experience purchasing a house with dryvit.  I know there were lawsuits and huge problems in the past with it.  I am currently looking at a house build in 1995 with dryvit. ...

Thanks again for the recommendation.The original Zinnser BIN is a shellac - fast drying, good sealing properties - and you will want ventilation and/or a respirator when applying it.Due to the constraints and costs of harvesting the resin of the lac bug, Zinnser now manufactures a synthetic shellac primer "BIN 2" which is not as offensive to apply as the original .... and much cheaper to purchase.

the cheapest investment can be rehabing a  $1500 manufactured home and  color stucco the outside with the same synthetic the casinos use.

Some of us would go for Cash flow compare to some of us go for synthetic loss to save that 40% other earnings.

@Todd Plambeck Thanks for the input, I agree that it'll either be tile, or some synthetic product.

Forced appreciation through renovations, followed by securing synthetic leases for refinancing.

Scammers are also able to create synthetic identities.

If you are lucky to time your sales to occur in a rising market, this "synthetic dividend" strategy will produce an income.

When building a deck or exterior stairs i would lean towards redwood or a synthetic product such as Trex depending on the application.

IF $ feasable, tear off the existing layers of shingles, install a good THICK and SYNTHETIC underlayment (like Ice/Water barrier, not cheap synthetic) and not just 2 layers of black felt; insulation boards; then the metal roof.
