-It rained, and the water from the rain stayed on the roof, up until 5 inches deep in some places.

And I ran all the numbers I could, I just dont know the blue prints so I can only get close....Using the schematics I can suppose do the cost of lumber figuring in one 2x4 each 16 inches....I have the dimensions of all the rooms and the house.

The Drywall Hack from Way Back is past its expiration date.Drill some small, easily patched holes and take a look down the stud bays of the wall in question (they will typically not be wider than 15 inches) before you start in on the major wall surgeries.

lower the size of your unit and therefore your build cost per unit, your sale price will go down but focus on density and get familiar with zoning and what your city will approve. my best suggestion is to do it in downtown districts where there is unlimited height and unlimited floor area and you can build every square inch of the property and reduce parking because of proximity to transit. property values are higher, rents are higher in downtown markets, there are just too many economies of scale compared to suburban deals.

On very heavy rain days we always get a lot of calls due to some basements flooding.It's just the nature of the beast and nothing major.Maintenance pumps out the inch or so of water fairly easily and quickly.Property management walks (For free) the property yearly before the lease renewal.We had push back on charging $250 for a 2 x yearly Property Condition Report through Inspectify but are now having a "click out" option so we can't be blamed in the future for deferred maintenance.It's incredible the lengths that we need to go through to protect the company from such instances.With that said, we could have done a better job with preventative maintenance here.Investors reading, "Yes" we do our best to cover absolutely all angles as your eyes and ears, heart and soul on the ground.

The next guy with his "first post" will talk about how the program also cured his cancer, regrew his hair, and made him 2 inches taller.
