I am planning on taking other precautions to address the additional leverage risk (reserves, insurance, etc) when I do get going.

Do you need to take any precautions upon re-entering the house after treatment?

Lastly, be sure to have the flooring installed correctly, regardless of the type, because a kitchen is subject to water spills and leaks so there are added precautions you should take to protect the floors from a spill or leak if it were to occur. 

Be sure to read the safety precautions.

Another precaution we take is disconnecting & removing the water meter to prevent it from freezing.

I'm noticing too that people are largely ignoring Covid precautions, which could partly explain the chronic problem with cases here. 

If so, people will need take extra precautions when going into a BRRRR strategy and ensuring the refinance leg of the plan is possible.  

What extra precautions would you consider now when buying SFHs for buy/hold?

From what I've read though, they can require quite a bit of precaution and maintenance, but they can also last a long time if properly cared for.If you have experience with wood/butcher block counter-tops, I'd love to hear about it.

Do your research and begin to go to every real estate meetup here in KC available as precautions slowly dwindle.
