Design alterations.

I am a brand new real estate investor with a couple business partners exploring our real estate investment options.

Properly sized domestic HVAC systems are designed to maintain a 20 degree difference between the indoor and outdoor air, but even that has limits.With an OAT (Outdoor Air Temp) of 114, the lowest indoor temp one can reasonably expect is 94.One can reasonably expect climate change to have an impact on sizing guidelines going forward.My $0.02 ...

Highly recommend if you're in the area to check out this small but growing brand.  

My W2 is affording me some extra time and I want to spend that time building my REI experience.I am a commercial lighting and interior designer and lighting controls expert. 

What you pay with labor will depend on if for instance one of my units still has a good pad and tack and strip then I just pay for carpet and installation cost.What you will pay will also depend on how much you are installing at one time.I don't like Berber for rentals.The design of the loop once it starts unraveling it can unwind pretty good an dis harder to get certain stains and pet stuff out of it.With carpet you want a Nylon carpet even if the cheaper version.Some carpet guys will try to sell you the rubber composite carpet stuff which is the really cheap stuff so it will stand up to tenant abuse.The problem is it can only be cleaned usually up to one time and then you need to replace it again.So I would rather get a cheaper nylon that can be re-cleaned many times over after installation for an additional .10 to .15 a sq ft extra than the super cheap stuff I will have to replace again.If you get 1 sq ft for carpet,pad,tack and strip,and labor install and it is Nylon you are getting one heck of a deal.Even at a carpet place usually you are at .40 to .50 for the pad and .50 to .60 for a cheap carpet.Then you have to do material to install and labor.I have seen sometimes if you have to do a small area you can pick up quality remnant pieces for real cheap and hit that type of number or buy in bulk.

I’d say the estimate is probably more accurate than you’d get if you weren’t associated with the brand.

I own a remote design agency in Florida, but I don't live in the U.S.

Again, a brand new twilio number.

-no reputable contractor is going to be willing to put a penalty in a contract with a brand new investor working on their first project.
