E.G. for roofing, we'll find the decking rotted in places, but we don't know that is for sure the case until the shingles are removed, and as such the insurance companies won't pay for it until we prove the damage exists.

So the decision was, either I can stay here and fail by getting by and just paying bills my whole life, or I can give it a shot and take my future into my own hands and start making my own paychecks by doing something I actually like to do (building decks and fences). 

We did repaint the cabinets but we got a contractor to fix the bigger issues such as redoing the deck, repainting the home, etc.

Sell 140kI do most of the work myself    Paint, laminate floor, cabinets   If tile or a deck I hire out Didn’t know these were good numbers til I started reading BPIt’s a very nich type of property.    

The buildings house either ten or 20 units, with no garages, but have decks.   

Kevin -Additions or decks will have to conform to the zoning, but -1) There may be an exemption based on a nonconforming lot2) There may be an administrative variance based on the nonconforming lot3) Getting a variance isn't that hard in Dekalb county.

Completely redid the entire inside and built a huge deck on the back What was the outcome?

Hello Bigger Pockets community,I find myself in the situation of rehabbing a property, specifically dealing with a second-level deck that has an exterior glass sliding door.

For the darts a person could use X-acto knife blades and a short dowel rod. 

CFCI (Contractor Furnished, Contractor Installed) is for materials that I don't want to deal with and want the contractor to provide and install such as wiring, piping, studs, drywall, roofing, decking, etc.
