It took several hours for the test to be conducted as they test almost every surface in the house, soil and also the garage if you have one.

Hello, I am someone who is starting to scratch the surface of the idea of real estate investing.

You usually won't strike gold when you dig, but you will never strike gold if you never dig below the surface.

Make sure you use the right material for an exterior surface and it can be painted.

Assuming their numbers are right (big assumption), on the surface, the deal seems to make sense. $74K of cash flow for a $462K investment (assuming 25% down), gives you cash on cash of 16%.

It will last a lifetime, and turns out to be cheaper than a lot of other surfaces, including most tile and carpet.  

What your referring to appears fishy on the surface.

Since he went with a cheaper product, he made more profit for a lower-quality, shorter-lasting paint job.So my questions for you are:No matter what surface is being painted, and even if you’re selling and not renting it, do you ALWAYS expect your painter to prime all surfaces first (versus just spot priming) … or do you only expect full surface priming when it’s more NECESSARY, like when going over brand-new drywall?

On the surface looks good. 

If you can get a confirming loan you’re probably better off although your mortgage broker should be able to run all kinds of analaysis for you to surface the best option.
