For new builds and some rehabs they are vented but in some conversions or apartment remodels I will opt for the ventless units.

However, some investors are fine with this strategy if they prefer to minimize their upfront investment and plan to refinance in a few years, especially with potential interest rate cuts from the Fed this year.At the end of the day, it’s all about investing in a growing market, selecting a solid neighborhood, and building a strong team to support you.

It is very messed up and I am trying to remove it from the building to avoid and further mess.So she started arguing and I gave her one week to remove her stuff.

this is a direct relation to lack of inventory.. new construction on many markets is as robust as its ever been.. we have had spectacular years the last 3 years of course during covid was tough with supply chains but my 500k house I am now selling for 700k and my build cost have gone up by maybe 100k.. so record profits for us.. 

Specifically; rules, regulations and permitting procedure.
