Having a conversation up front can help you avoid lost time and money in the long run. 

At the end of the day everyone just wants a safe place to be able to lay their heads each night.

And we keep hiring sock-puppet morons to run this lunny-bin we call "merica".....

Just make sure you run your numbers well and that it make sense, not just because it "looks nice", be smart, investing is a marathon, not a sprint!

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

It was a pain in the arse to run to Ikea and figure out how to piece together New Laminate wood flooring - $.089/square foot.$300Used 24” oven and apartment size fridge.$900Microwave, Sink, faucet, sink hardware $600Quartz Countertop (one 10 foot slab)$300Electrical Materials: wire, receptacles, lights, etc..$400Baseboard (had it left over from another job so $0, but would have cost around $100)New interior door, wood studs, drywall, mud  $300Paint $100Dump Fees $500Misc stuff I’m probably forgetting $500TOTAL COST $12,500Rehab cost per square foot = $25

Also, be aware that if you are thinking of doing a BRRRR that maxing out your HELOC can have a negative impact on your credit score so when you go to do the refi you may potentially run into issues.

you can really only do a solo 401k if you are running a company.

I can't comment just yet because I'm not completely up and running but they have had the best support out of anything I've tried before.

I've had a couple of deals in the past that could have died at the table, but I let pragmatism rule the day and it worked out just as it should in the long run.
