Come on BP programmers - find the problem and fix it.EDIT: It is ironic that my mention of @BiggerPockets Support did not work (twice!)

Ultimately Real Estate is both my Business Partner and my passion ,plus I can never escape it though growing up since that's all my family did and ironically my husband's Aunt is into real estate sooo needless to say I couldn't escape it if I wanted to lol.

Buying at auction sight unseen other than a walk around, I was stunned to see when i finally did get inside that the home had forced air heating and central air conditioning.....really lucked out there...it appears to be original because it had these big old cast iron floor grates.

If your primary is unavailable it would be wise to have your backup step in and already have the arrangement ironed out.Our cleaner's husband is a cabin contractor, handyman etc. and has been a big help in dealing with deferred maintenance items found on the inspection... and the pair of them as our boots on the ground means we can ship items larger and more complex than normal and have them placed.. think furniture, electronic equipment, etc. rather than only being able to ship cleaning supplies and linens.   

Suggest you iron out this with your CPA quantifying the amount, tax and projected income at your future tax rate.Your CPA wants to know what, how much you are invest in cash flow, affordability etc.

I am nearing the end of this project and it was worth every moment I spent working.I am worried about the cast iron piping that runs under the driveways, but am budgeting replacement to avoid surprises

I was trying not to overspend for the area, and figured 4mm would do the trick... ironically, if you’re going cheap “for the area”, those are probably the areas you need the most durability!

Ironically rent goes up with number of bedrooms, cost is mostly in kitchens and bathrooms.

Slate roof (insurance company hated that, I've posted on here before), old galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that were failing piece-by-piece, old electrical with tenants complaining about tripping circuits, cracked foundations and water in the basement, and on and on. 

From there to the street it is cast iron.
