I wouldn't go to the butcher to ask what kind of bread to buy...

If you have an IKEA within driving distance, they make a really nice butcher block countertop that can easily be cut to size.

Brandon TurnerAll the best last names end in a vowel...LOLI guess that means you would be able to pronounce it...its a last name that people love to butcher.

We had a butcher block top one back in the day and I recently had a tenant bring one in.

Great tip @Joe Butcher My current interest is in buy & hold out of state @Eric Belgau (thanks for the tip as well!).

the house with the missing gas furnace and AC was insured but with the butcher job of the removal and cut lines and ducts, I'm sure it could not be repaired for $5,000 but it was listed as insured.And other cases there have been relatively minor flaws, well less than $5,000 and the property is listed as uninsured.And then there is the third type of property, where I marvel how the property was financed FHA the first time as there are clear major defects that would be rejected by an FHA appraiser, so how did it become a HUD repo?

@Joe Butcher thanks for that review.

@Michael Butcher, in theory, yes.

Nothing in this price range offered any details like up-to-date color pallets, shiplap siding, butcher block-like counters, black and white cabinets or cute coat cubbies.

I won't repeat for fear of butchering it, but he mentioned a strategy for 1031ing flipped properties.I did a podcast interview a few months ago with him.
