I recently had an estimate of $20,000 to create a basement egress window and I put my foot down and told my GC that I was going to rent the excavator, and we found much cheaper supplies, and were doing the project ourselves.

New user, first time post.Trying to gather info for an HOA Board about possibly having the HOA buy 'bulk' cable TV, Internet (Wi-Fi) with VOIP for use by each owner in a 55 year old and over HOA with 62 dwelling, plus a clubhouse with at least two additional TV usage locations (main clubhouse room, plus exercise room).Cox/Xfinity is the current supplier for the entire property which only has coax cables installed on the property below ground.

So, your prediction that there would be at least $20k more if everything is included should be accurate.The reason for choosing a JADU is that converting the garage into an ADU would require a separate laundry setup and an additional electrical panel in the main house, which would increase the renovation costs for the main house itself.

Hi,I'm considering submitting an offer on a property that's a couple blocks away from Main St in Downtown Littleton.

I’m looking at investing outside of California; mainly Kansas.

Its just very rare that this happens and this is mainly paranoia getting into peoples brain that they would need some sort of protection because of some high profile cases that have gone around the internet. 

Demand will drop, supply will increase  and those that actually want to sell their house will ultimately have to lower their price - so the theory goes.  

I know that I can write my travel, supplies, and food expenses off of my taxes while on that trip.

What about repairs, supplies, and other expenses?

I'm planning on quitting soon, moving back home for a little and taking a few months in between my next job to pursue my first investment.My rough idea for an investing strategy is:  long-term, not necessarily looking for high cashflow (just want to start building equity), quality deals > amt. of doors, Class A/B neighborhoods mainly for low vacancy.
