Hi all, after chairman Powells speech yesterday, it is clear that the fed is committed to fighting inflation by raising interest rates and selling bonds.

The interior ceilings are completely ruined and heavily stained from the water damageIF we take this on, we're going to replace the framing and trusses and have an engineer put a pitch on the home to increase ARV.  

The house had several floor joists and trusses in the attic that were cut through in order to run venting and pipes that needed to be shored up, some rotted subflooring that was discovered in the bathroom, some drywall needed to be replaced, the whole house was repainted, added a water softener due to the hard water from the well leading to discoloration of the tub, and upgraded the fixtures to make it look nicer.

Typically 4"x4" posts are placed on 8' centers and connected with girts and trusses.

Have your 30 second "elevator speech" very well rehearsed, because if you interrupt my bourbon sippin' time by knocking on my door on a weekend, I better interested in the first 10 of those seconds .. or else that door is getting shut in a hurry.Sit down and write out every single question you think a homeowner might ask you, and have an answer.

What will be make or break feasibility wise for what you're proposing will be:Existing studs - nowadays max 16" O.C. spacing for 2x4 studs on 1st floor is required to carry a 2nd story and roof per 2015 IRC.Your existing truss system would save you a lot of $$$ if you can re-use. 

Abraham Lincoln stopped and stayed in 1860 as he was moving on to New York City for a campaign speech.  

[Hard to get but depending on your "elevator speech", it is possible.] 3.

I’m not talking truss members and cinder blocks but you will have to create your repair list often, otherwise known as a punch list.

The current condition is HORRIBLE, it needs a roof and when I say roof I mean it needs trusses and decking.
