When I'm rehabbing/building a new bathroom, do I absolutely need to apply Redgard to waterproof it or the moisture resistant sheetrock is enough ( purple or green) ?

I don't want to sound like preacher but at same time new investors should know that we all have crossed the bridge in the past and continue to weather the storm when it comes through.

I can certainly sense the resistance from many of the insurance carries thus far.

If you're hiring a professional thwy should be paying attention to the weather.

This has been common in the last few cycles.This is of course market-dependent, but I think overall most Metropolitan areas will weather fine.

Dealing with contractors was a headache, and the rehab took a lot longer than expected due to aggressive winter weather.

Hello everyone, I’m trying to find out more information on weather or not using a hard money lender is good for my first deal; since I don’t have not enough or anywhere near enough to fully buy and rehab on my own.

Meantime, you can get weather-resistant electrical cable (I think the code is UG) and run it similarly as to the romex you had up there. 

If you own a rental property with the intention of collecting passive income indefinitely (of course who knows what the future holds) you should send your tenant:New air filter (if you have a HVAC) every X monthsGet the filter with the least amount resistance, meaning buy the “worst” quality one and send the replacement filters more oftenThe worse the filter the easier the fan has to work to circulate the airHigh priced filters trap more “stuff” but require more power and wear and tear on your HVAC unit.

Typically coastal areas need different materials due to weather/environment conditions.
