I'm not investing, retired, but if I were, I would keep my powder dry for now.The other danger is relying on 2 high paying W2 jobs.

Understand dry wall materials etc have gone up because of the trade war.

@Michael Garofalo Unfortunately I'm not the best source of info regarding B-class neighborhoods... as for inventory, I can only relate that in my experience, the MLS seems to have dried up for small multis-- I'm sure they're out there, just not nearly as plentiful as they were last year.  

Buy a clothes rack and let your clothes dry in the sun instead of running the dryer. 

Don't unless you want to pay penalties in excess of the return you'll get on your RE investment. 

The only thing that comes to mind immediately is "water marks" on the wood hidden behind a wall in the basement which indicate it was previously wet and dried.

Obviously the big pieces of the puzzle are already in place, so it seems a bit excessive to me to pay a typical commission.Thanks in advance for the input!

I wanted to redo the kitchen (break down one of the dry walls if the building permits it and new cabinets) and also thinking about renovating the two small bathrooms as well.

LVP is 100% vinyl which means that is much more susceptible to warping, especially with excessive sun or heat.

Whoops.My pipeline has now run a little dry.
