It's subconscious to me on the internet when it's only a blue head that the person could be fake.I think the forums would be much more effective if verification was required just for this reason.

How can an Owner-Occupied single family home be an investment?
5 November 2024 | 15 replies
You can buy a single family home, live in it for a year, then rent it out afterwards, and that would effectively be an investment property after you moved out, but you also got the more beneficial terms of it being a primary residence loan.You could buy a single family home and rent out bedrooms while you are living there, and that would effectively be an investment property, but again, you have the more beneficial terms of a primary residence loan.I wouldn't get caught up so much on if a property you buy is an investment immediately so much as I would focus on what your goals are and how each purchase would be step towards your goals, whether that is house hacking or just buying investment properties you don't live in.

Chimney Stack Demo - DIY or Outsource?

They will likely also need to close any access points to satisfy city inspectors that the now capped chimney cannot be used to "vent" anything in the future.You will likely want a demo team that is much cheaper to do the actual demo and haul off, but you need either the mason or an engineer to stipulate how far down they can/should demo, while leaving enough room for the cap to be effective and maintain any structural rigidity into the future to not create more issues.Long story longer, I would call more licensed, insured contractors.
