I used a mixture of new construction type or replacement type in both single and double hung depending on the application of the window.

I have a 20 year construction background, so in addition to buying and holding properties, I am also very interested in the fix and flip. 

I am in the commercial construction business and am wanting to move into more full time work from home.   

I am in the construction industry, i have renovated a few properties so that's not the issue.

There might be loans available for you to use to construct improvements on a property with no equity but I am not aware of them.

Of note when I assembled them originally, I used construction adhesive on all connecting joints and added an extra trim head cabinet screw on large pieces to really hold them together.

And, professionally, I have been in the world of kitchen and bathroom construction and design for a total of about 9 years.
