This is to prevent kids from sticking their fingers into the spaces alongside the pipes. 

Looking to build an ADU on my property, considering buying a prefab or having a contractor building it.

As others noted, you are likely limited in what you can legally do anyways, so you won't be saving a ton, and depending on how you value your time, it will likely be cheaper to higher professionals to do it anyways.

Congrats on buying an investment property.

You are losing money on both properties. 

I totally agree with Kyle on every point he makes.

Does anyone know of a lender that will give a HELOC on an investment property.  

@David Weitzel great deal, and welcome to the forumns, I love the idea of doing a flip on my own street, seems easier to keep things under wraps but perhaps you still had contractor issues it sounds like?

@Will Mejia Congrats on getting the property paid off and also on the income you have coming in. 

Occasionally through binoculars you may catch a glimpse of someone sitting on a porch, sipping a glass of mint julep, holding the glass with a white gloved hand with the pinky finger sticking up.
