I print this on heavy weight paper as it gets a lot of use and I keep it in the drawer with my checkbook.

No need to keep sashes with weights and pulleys that will never be mistaken for being energy efficient.

Who learns to surf, or snowboard, or play a sport, or run, or lift weights, or knit, or play video games, or write articles, or TURN ON SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME without sucking at it and feeling stupid?

When I say in the process, I mean we have secured lending, have evaluated and attempted purchase of 1 candidate (couldn't close the deal) and are now moving on to another candidate that we like.I've been reading around the forums about some of the financial evaluations and am working to understand why Net Present Value of free cash flows is not being used more in the evaluation of a property.It is interesting to understand the CoC as an income statement percentage and it is certainly interesting to do some quick calculations with perhaps the 50% rule.But until you take a series of cash flows, discount them by a Weighted Average Cost of capital, and determine if you can clear your next best alternative (stock market, paying down debt), how do you know if you really have a something that will make you money?

In snowy areas, you'll find a lot of metal roofs and in high end areas, wood shingles.A lot of homes built by big development companies will not be built to support the weight of tile roofs.

@Brandon TurnerAre you playing a flat rate for the dumpster or is it a base rate plus a tariff for volume or weight?

Like what happens when one of your wives thinks the other 2 aren't pulling their own weight.

After the shock of coming up with a $15k budget, I am now thinking that I may be better off doing a lighter rehab.

Example their policy might be weighted to insure residential and not commercial as that is all they do.

To say an approach of weighted averages per sq ft is going to be accurate is really saying you're lucky a lot.
