I will piggy back on the sellers project when he mobilizes a crew to do utility install and road work for his next phase, I will have them continue to my cul de sack. thanks!

Typically flooring guys charge a flat install per square foot and then more for stairs.

The way more challenging part is #1 finding the deal of course, #2 finding great contractors that would take on this type of project with payments to them working through installments, #3 finding great terms on your refi.My advice would be to look aggressively for #2 and #3, so if you do come across the golden ticket of #1, you are ready to pounce. 

Have a salon with a water heater that was installed around three months ago, and the tenant has complained that it's having issues heating the water; I suspect it may be an electrical issue with the system. 

Itll cost about 1500$ to install.

Maybe find a good designer that can provide services to install and setup the spaces.A lot of these ideas are going to depend on where you are buying.

Thanks Toben They were installed in 1989 and '1992 so they definitely are not new.

Currently landlord pays for all utilities, is a system/product/device that can be installed to the water meter that tracks the usage of water through each unit so I would be able to bill the tenants separately?
