The kitchen cabinets,  bathroom cabinets, crown molding, baseboards, banisters, wainscoting, chair rails, built in book cases on each side of the hearth, closet doors (solid oak), bedroom doors (solid oak), window sills, overhead exposed beams, EVERYTHING - down to the spindles in decorative ornamental design, newel posts, even the attic access doors ha- all custom made for the house from solid oak.

Underneath the unit, a 20+ foot steel beam had fallen off its support posts.

I’m aware that I’ve got some work ethic - I’m laser focused to the path I’ve got to be on so here I am inquiring for a mentor.

Updating everything inside, we added some custom made features like the tabletop, faux beams and mantle made from peccy cypress reclaimed wood.

He has a section in there where he tells investors to focus like a laser on their net worth and making sure it is always growing.In terms of how real estate fits into that, he says you can expand net worth by buying new properties or paying down debt (mortgage or otherwise).

Hi @Tony Lueken, what type of foundation is the home on (slab, pier-and-beam, rubber mat, etc)? 

Deals can be found, but you have to be laser-focused on finding cash flow to have it make sense.

And of course, the equipment would have to be used on an area with a slab and never over a pier and beam foundation.I'm wondering if anyone has ever included a clause in their lease or addendum that would cover these requirements?

Want to know if it’s possible to remove the walls separating the kitchen from the dining/living room without using LVL/or any type of beam but instead fasten the ceiling joists to the roof structure?
