Hello all, my name is Zack Carson and I am a current chemical engineering student at NC State University.My parents and I are looking to get into the market on rental properties in the Raleigh/Durham area.I was hoping to start here to ask for any advice and make new connections as I start my journey!

Our daughter graduated from the University of  Arkansas about a year ago as a chemical engineer. 

Upon move out, the tenant used the bath tub as a holding tank for his mop water, and whatever chemical he's used, he's managed to lift up a ton of the finish and it now needs to be completely re finished.

:-)I am chemical engineer by school, currently a sales manager in biotech as a day job. 

And some bedbugs develop chemical resistance.

You never know what chemicals might have spilled along the way.

I currently work at a chemical plant and I’m exploring the real estate investor world!

This is where the learnings pay off for me.My exceptions to do everything once: refinishing hardwood floors (seen enough diy debauchery), granite countertops and tub reglazing (cheap enough to have done and too specific of tools/chemicals for me).

If I'm replacing a roof for someone and buying materials for the job, they are paying only for the materials that are used on their job.Ex: A roll of synthetic paper covers 1000 sq ft.

Additionally, I’ve heard a lot of chatter on this forum and AirHostsForum around cleaning procedure, recommended chemicals, etc.
