One of the dirty little secrets of this business is that a really good 4x24 belt sander, a random orbit sander, and an oscillating tool with a sanding pad offer are slower tools to work with, but they offer a lot more control over how much you take an original oak strip floor down on refinishing jobs.

Dustin, Cap rates are one stochastic used by professional investors to compare one investment option against another...either in the same asset class or across classes.

Either rebuild the soffit or try an oscillating tool to cut the screws.

You can repair individual tiles by cutting them out with an oscillating tool.

Then you grind off the last of it and much of the epoxy with a diamond grinding cup wheel and then do the last of it with a carbide rasp on an oscillating tool.

I would like to spend the next couple of weeks vetting and deciding on a market so that I can move on to analyzing deals and ultimately buy a property, rather than continue oscillating between markets aimlessly. 

You're going to want to use an oscillating tool with a bimetal cutting blade to get in under the edge of your tile there -- if you used mastic adhesive to do the backsplash, it's going to gum up quickly on the blade and you're going to need a lot of paint thinner/mineral spirits to get that off.

None of the internal or external lighting is, even the wall-mounted fixtures.The fix is pretty simple -- you break out the plaster, plunge-cut through the lath neatly with an oscillating saw, put in what's called an "old work box," screw the box's wings open and down to hold the box in place, run the wires through the integrated clamps in the box.This looks like a 1970s-era light fixture.

The best all around tool is my DeWalt 20v Oscillating tool.

You chose to manage on your own to save 10% a year which sounds like a smart choice...until feces hits the rotating oscillator.
