No to the smoke detector safety issue , just replace and deduct cost of hardware usually you can't bill for your time if you do it yourself.

I am settled in the Knoxville area and work at the one of (if not the) largest Building Materials and Hardware Supply stores in the area and have a great knowledge of the homebuilding/repair process, as well as the handyman/construction skills to do essentially anything in terms of rehabbing.

No body was opening their wallet.

But they are the same people who find a wallet, take the money, and throw the wallet away. 

This all has an effect on hardware stores and employees, tenants, landlords, and investors as a whole. 

Chase Sapphire reserve, AMEX Platinum, Citi Prestige, AMEX Hilton Aspire, AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, and several other cards should be in the wallet of every single military member.

You might want to add hardware as well.

Much less risk than their basketball game at the park.So some people I know are raking in the money, cooking food, making deliveries for the hardware store, and stocking shelves in a store, working 80 hours a week, with the pay rate higher than normal and bonuses. 

Just the hardware is left to install...

This allows you to utilize 5% down conventional financing and save FHA for when you have a bigger wallet.
