Hello Ryan and Dave,Thanks for meticulous responses.I talked to my lender and QI both.

I've had two investment properties for seven years that looked like they would net 18% according to the spreadsheets that I very meticulously created.

Their base install ran $375 as I was allowed to wire all the EXIT signs, emergency lighting & hard wired smoke/CO detectors.Materials ran about $4,500 as I was able to use 3/4 Pex, but it took 18 long months of meticulous nook & cranny routing, sprinkler head installations & code inspections.

I am very meticulous in my decisions, and very thorough about my sources.
