I have been trying to find if there is a wall assembly material that can act as stuctural, shear strength, insulative, interior surface and exterior surface.

Modern floor plans, modern mechanical systems, well insulated, generally separately metered etc.

@Jaekwan LeeA house hacking inspection checks for structural integrity, roof condition, plumbing, electrical issues, HVAC systems, windows, insulation, base and attic damage, unit conditions, and code compliance.

The simplicity of the “I’ll take the number 5, with extra insulation and interior paint on the side” approach was appealing.

Prices have jumped up pretty significantly the last few years; I had an addition done in 2021 just when lumber was starting to go berserk and I spent $100/sf *BUT* I use a lot of these contractors in my rental business and it wasn't a turnkey job - I did the electric, insulation, HVAC extensions, painting and trimwork.

This insulates the Landlord from rising expenses over the term of the lease.2.

If you have a multi-family property, then you have to figure out how to make the tenants share the responsibility or you hire someone to handle it for them.You have to consider insulation, maintenance of weather stripping on doors and windows, servicing the boiler/furnace, winterizing sprinkler systems, disconnecting garden hoses from hose bibs, and much more.It's very risky to manage rentals from a distance.
