I guess it is worth the few hundred dollars to close up the window that leads into the kitchen.One contractor suggested that we could spray a coating to frost the glass on the doors.

First, the board is only getting bids for one coat of paint on exterior wood and refuses to look into options for additional coats. 

No big deal to frame down 4" and then add thicker trim at the top. 

Hi, Can anyone recommend where I can find what the averge conatruction costs to build an apartment complex for a given area?

Get their advice before you do anything.Personally, if the cops were to give me the go-ahead, I would go in there with boots and a coat and heavy gloves, with a club in my hand, and do as little damage to the pit bull as I had to in order to get to right bathroom shutoff valve.

Do you think it is important in the Mid-West, Chicago to be specific, to ask for the fact roof to be coated in aluminum to protect from UV Rays?

Good luck...So far, BP seems to be the only place that doesn't sugar coat the untold truth about real estate investing.

Thicker the better.

The only thing you are doing is drawling attention to yourself every time the wind blows your coat open or you bend over and someone see's a big lump in the small of your back.

Never mind all the costs associated with the two transactions, the new roof that had to be put on, the new sewer line, the city's assessment for sidewalks, four coats of paint and a complete set of appliances.So, do I think you should buy this new residence at retail?
