You do have to make sure to leave some room for thermal expansion. 

Our mortgage market went through cycles of expansion as our banking system struggled.

This site and community are worth their weights in gold.Since joining BP I can attest to the fact that my REI knowledge and skills have increased tremendously, coupled with the fact that I am being interactive with like minded individuals who are focused and excited about the success of others.BP and its community are here to stay and will continue to be a model for others to emulate.It clearly shows that persistence, hard work and dedication can certainly bear fruit in the building and expansion of a purpose driven platform without spam and other distractions.320,000 members and counting are a testament to the demand for an active and serious community driven REI site.Great job @Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner, as well as the rest of the supporting team and of course the BP community!

I plugged all the numbers into the Rental Property analyzer calculator, as modest as possible trying to determine what my unit would cost me after subtracting all other expansive, for example, 5% on Maintenance, vacancy, capital ex, and 11% management fees. that number is roughly $900 a month or $10,800 yearly that I would be responsible for. both scenarios look like this  A) Primary Resident: 69k (10% down + closing) +10,800 = 80k the first year VsB) Investment Property: 159k (25% down +closing) - $4704 ( $392 monthly cash flow) = $154,296 first year I feel that option A is the better option in year 1, but I can not figure out a true representation moving forward after the house hack is done and I replace myself with a tenet?

Im seeing expansion on all sides of Asheville.

I recently did a 44% expansion of a site, got occupancy in the second half of July, and penciled in ~11 months for rent up (to 85% units); I got there in 45 days instead.

The way I'm running the #'s is by using a "purchase price" of the cost of building the expansion and the "rent" being the incremental increase we'd get by adding in the bed and bath. 

If, for some reason, this can't be done, you could use a fiber or rubber expansion board to create a bond-break between the wood and concrete.

The cost of installing an  expansion tank kit ( Expansion tank, auto fill with backflow preventer and air eliminator) is 1,100.
