Appreciation is here to hold.

They wash up great, don't lint after the first couple washes and hold up really well.We have towels that are 5 years old still in the rotation and still look and work great.I will say that washing towels to keep them nice takes a slightly different tack.

I have already contacted two other contractors for quotes in order to obtain three total quotes.I understand that some investors like to also make use of lower-cost options, such as neighborhood kids, but as I am running a business, I would like to maintain a process that is repeatable and predictable and that may also adapt to long-term needs, such as landscaping and weed maintenance.

Now I hold and rent out as a short term rental.For clarity this is not a rehab project, this would be me just trying to refi without adding value.

With the pending opening of EPIC, that should bring some life back to many who have been struggling..if they can hold out until then.

Picture it like a dart board—areas farther from the center experience increasing pressure, leading to appreciation if you plan to cherry pick any to hold onto.

Would you buy a condo as your first investment or would you hold out for a SFR instead? 

Then the goal would be to either sell it off or keep it as a rental for a long-term hold.

Would not use anything but Pex and in your case would hold off replacing the plumbing for now if there is any possibility of codes changing in the next few years to allow PEX. 

However I'd do a deeper dive into these since some of them hold more functionalities than others.
