Maintenance and Rehab CostsDue to the climate, the predominate construction in Las Vegas consists of:• Stucco exterior• Desert landscaping (rocks)• Metal windows and doors• Concrete block fences• Tile roofs• Concrete slab foundationsThe result is a low cost of ownership.

I don’t know if I am looking in the right places but I wanted to see if anyone has suggestions of where or what type of group/firm would help me evaluate and compare costs of going with a different building system, such as metal vs CMU vs tilt up or comparing roof systems and breaking down the pros and cons etc.

then you can buy a kit to make your own screen frame, you cut it with a hacksaw, silde the corner pieces in and then lay the screen mesh over the new frame you built and use a spline roller to secure the screen mesh into the frame,, some frame kits come with metal springs that help hold the screen tight within the track they set back into.Once you've done it for $15.00 you'll never pay a hardware store prices to do the same.

You can use the metal H shaped signs made for Bandit signs but they are kind of flimsy and are easily blown down.

My understanding is if they are threatening bodily harm to you or the neighbors or are committing a felony on the property then you can still evict them.

We had main riser leaks due to old copper pipes that had corrosion and were springing pinhole leaks likley due to disimalr metals being used in the system creating "galvanic corrosion". it was a big job but we did it all ourselves. went ahead and replaced the main hot and cold risers from the boiler room to the third floor.

I would paint metal but am skeptical about longevity of paint on vinyl.

You will want to do some slanted angles around windows to allow water to flow away and you will have to put a proper metal flashing above the rock/stucco that laps behind the siding.

The property is zoned CMX-2 and is by right allowed to have 2 residential units and one commercial (min first 30' of frontage).The inspector who came yesterday to okay closing up the walls said that for the commercial unit, which is the front half of the first floor, there are more significant drywall needs for fire purposes, and we also need cast iron & copper plumbing versus the plastic that's already run AND used throughout the rest of the property.A couple years back there was a big change in plastic vs. metal for plumbing in Philly, but I believe that may be specific to Residential.Really curious for any feedback on this.

Don't worry Hep 3 since this is transmitted by bodily fluids.Would look for a property with a stream or running water, if you're doing therapy.
