I had some problems with the management company not advertising promotions at all and likely over-screening potential tenants.

Before installation they applied some material to smooth out any leveling imperfections.   

If you ended up in a property that has low grade materials, you can replace stuff more frequently than expected meaning higher costs than if you had done it yourself.

Hey @Cory Ray, Given we are accountants, we cannot promote our services on BP as its against the rules.

For example, if both couples are in the property working on building a piece of furniture that takes 2 hours how many hours towards material participation does that count?

Homes of this age may not have had materials like pressure treated lumber to deter some of the pests and they can weaken structural members over time.

Their insights highlight the necessity for a careful approach to vapor barriers and insulation, emphasizing compatibility with the building's original design and moisture management needs.Here's the plan:Ceilings/Attic Floors: Elevate insulation to R-38 or above, incorporating vapor retarder paint or smart vapor retarders for optimal moisture management.Walls: Boost insulation to R-13 or more, utilizing smart vapor retarders or materials with adjustable permeability.Basements, Crawl Spaces: Increase insulation to R-19, targeting ground moisture and internal humidity control.Materials: Opt for eco-friendly, breathable insulation and vapor barrier materials that preserve the building's historic charm.This meticulous approach elevates the property's energy efficiency and moisture management, enhancing its value and ensuring a profitable return without compromising its architectural integrity.I'd like to hear your thoughts, experiences, or any advice you might have on integrating vapor barriers and insulation in renovating historic properties.
