. , I said "foundation" but I meant the wooden frames, joists, etc.

It was nerve racking going through the first purchase but I see how powerful it is now and am motivated to acquire my next deal.

@Mohammad Al-Abbasi look into data center rack Mount solutions.

I have reached out to some investor friends but they’re either doing huge deals right now or they don’t like big deals.I am racking my brain trying to come up with anyway to just get this deal going.

Hey BP community, I’ve been racking my brain about the best ways to finance deals number 2 and 3 of my portfolio and I want to see what you all think.I’m already working on closing my first deal with a low down FHA loan for a house hack where I’ll be living in and breaking even on expenses.

Specifically it needs some old wooden windows replaced with energy efficient ones, an HVAC overhaul, and gutters added.

We are also going to add a tall wooden fence to provide privacy to our tenants from the other property.

Did not use an underlayment on wooden sub.

Bathroom hardward (TP and towel racks) - mount to a 1x4 plaque that is screwed to studs. you can pretty much hang on it without pulling out the hardware. i use entry level granite countertops - stain resistant, and should last a long time. i put LVP through the entire house, bathrooms and closets included. its water proof and scratch resistant. while the initial cost is more than carpet, you wont have to replace it as often. i use Sherwin-Williams Harmony line of paint, in a semi-gloss sheen. the semi-gloss is easier to wipe off for small marks, and the harmony line has deodorizers built in. for exterior door knobs, i use the smartkey knobs from kwikset. you can rekey a knob in a few minutes - no need to pay rekeying fees anymore. last tip - figure out which appliances your market typically provides. in my market, its not common to provide washers and dryers, so i dont. thats one less thing to have to repair. 4. i dont see an issue with the gas stove. to convert to electric you will need to have a 220V plug, which could be costly to install if not already there. 

  $125,000 - $40,000 = $85,000 less realtor fees to sell it, and will a lender finance it in it's present condition.Also, those pier and beams go out of wack all the time and maybe just adjusting them will fix it.Some of the older homes are jacked up with all kinds of automobile junk yard scissor jacks and Auto Zone bottle jacks, piles of rocks, stacks of 2 x 4's on grade, wooden shingles, tar shingles, etc... vs proper peirs.So maybe one of the renters (or one of their friends) crawled under there and removed the jacks to use on their car repair or sell at the pawn shop for beer money and now the floor bounces.Meaning get a 2nd opinion from a pier company (that's legit, has an office and a website, etc...) and have them confirm the ROT--if any.Because the floors do rot (sometimes) and also the piers go out of wack and sometimes also sometimes disappear into thin air--and no one knows what happened to them.Getting a 2nd opinion on if there is rot--with cell phone pics of it--would be smart--if none then adjust/replace the jacks.Good Luck!
