This is most likely higher than it will cost, as a good plumber will be in and out with that in less than a day, and his parts and material wouldn't be terribly expensive.

I am currently studying for my brokers license in Colorado and am about a quarter of the way through the material.

The listing agent (at least in WA so I can only assume elsewhere...) cannot withhold knowledge of a material defect, well, they can, but they could be held liable later by a court and/or their MLS.

The materials and finishes are a bit different in the U.K.

Thanks everyone, but the renovation part of this is 98% done, with still a little room for improvement... which is my downfall because I keep thinking of new ways to keep pouring money into this thing, and I gotta stop that.I've broken up my story because I have a thousand progress photos.So why don't I continue.....Ah, the photo is right side up.So that chair and the metal desk came with the house.

Find the real reason, then your deal will begin to materialize.

I can't believe materials and labor for laminate would be less than refinishing.

You could refi your 50% equity property to pull out more cash and use that and the $200k to buy more rentals or to invest as you like (Crowdfund, syndication, stock market, oil, metals, start ups, etc).

I just had a great conversation with a local metal scrapper.

Should I put up plywood board or corrugated metal sheets to protect the old windows (house was built in '84 and has original windows)Regarding upstairs unit what precautions should I take when finding someone to put up the board or metal sheets?
