On forums that only track posts and not votes/karma/rep/ whatever they call it I see more of the mega-posters with 30-40,000 posts and folks tend to fall right in line with what that individual says, sometimes suppressing debate. 

The contract states no smoking on premise.Full story:I recently purchased my first home and decided to rent out 2 of the rooms to 2 different individuals. 

Thanks John, I have thought about a conventional refinance, but the broker I usually use said he could not do the deal because I bought it through an llc (he can only do loans with individuals).

However, LLCs aren't independent because, for tax purposes, the net income flows thru to your individual tax purposes. 

-walkerRather than owning the properties in an LLC, borrow as an individual first to get the lower cost money and protect yourself with an umbrella liability policy. 

My last 2 were both rented when (1) we still had finishing work/backspash tiling to do. (2) we had just sheetrocked.It all depends on the potential tenants "vision" and you should be able to assist that by having a flooring sampling ready.In the one, I was bringing sheetrock out to the dumpster when an older couple approached me and asked what I was doing.

That you could assist as far as holding open houses, asking questions and learning from.

I was wondering if someone could help out with recommendations for good GCs as well as architects and structural engineers.Thanks in advance for any assistance and guidance you can provide.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

These are all questions that I need to answer and account for before I start trying to predict what is going to happen to the market.Lastly, the individuals giving you advice probably have their entire life savings tied up in the stock market.
