@KarlB- That's also another way of looking at it...good food for thought.

They also do not work in a timely fashion so if it’s a rental that could be a problemJust food for thoughtFor us what we make sure we do is service and maintain our equipment like hvac and appliances which often leads to longer life spans

Great guest and food for thought. 

But we never had a shiny truck show up with people in monogrammed shirts.  

My hammer is for cracking open nuts, not remodeling.Just food for thought....

Work hard and be niceIgnorance is the consequence of knowing everything (I just made that up)Contractors have more funerals, weddings and broken trucks than any other demographic on the planetDon't be sleazy (I just made this up, as well)

Recently its down to 4.82%, so if we keep in mind our margin or the fixed portion the lenders add on top of the index to come up with your daily rate calculation is going to be as follows:4.82% + 3.75% (example margin for AIO) = 8.57% so we'll round it up to the nearest .125% which should be 8.50% interest only.Given that prime is 8.50% already and there is a margin on top of Prime for most HELOC's out there from .25-3.00% your traditional HELOC would be much higher rate than your comparable AIO loan comparatively.So just some food for thought.

I almost had my truck repossessed, ruined my personal credit for years, and the deal source was one of my closest friends.

Some specific examples include careless installation of vinyl flooring in our kitchen, resulting in irreparable damage; leaving an exposed nail in remodeled kitchen cabinetry that scratched our new range; installation of bathroom sinks with improper plumbing connections; and multiple instances of failure to remove cigarette butts, food trash, and construction waste from our property.

Food, water, shelter, the fundamental human needs.
