Above grade, stainless fasteners, silicon bronze fasteners, copper fasteners, hot dipped galvanized nails or hot tumbled galvanized nails can be used above grade.

I am not finished with the entire bathroom remodel but there is a 1/16 inch gap between the tile and fiberglass which can easily be sealed up with silicone. thanks for checking out my work

Hi All,I have a condo in Silicon Valley (Sunnyvale) that we converted from a primary residence 2 years ago.

Viable rentals obey the formula:FMR * 0.5 - vacancies > mortgage fair market rents:- very community oriented 0.5:- is the 50% expense rule vacancies:- losses from standing vacant, community oriented mortgage:- purchase price, down payment & rate sensitiveThere some locations (eg: San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Ventura Cnty CA) where prices are thru the roof and it's impossible for a new investor to just buy-in.  

You still get find it in Silicon Valley not long ago with 20-35% appreciation year after year.

I understand it could be as high as $100 per sq ft in Silicon Valley California but also much less somewhere else depending on the area.

About me: originally from Brazil, I have been in Silicon Valley for the last 18 years, my career has been in technology, specifically in sales, and after having hours upon hours of conversations with a friend who is a real estate investor for the last 20+ years, we came to the conclusion that real estate is the best and safest return for your investment.

I did read that Facebook may move away from Silicon Valley due to the high housing costs. 

So don't expect a Silicon Valley wage in Montana. 

when I was building out in Hood river a few years ago and one of Boeing's subsidies ( builds drones) was taking up 70% of the office space up and down the Gorge I worried about what would happen if Boeing pulled out.Growing up in Silicon valley many dont realize that, the market there pre computers was driven by aerospace IE Lookheed.Or Pre computer in Seattle Boeing Sneezed and Seattle caught the flu.
