If it's an old wood window that can't be replaced or blocked super easily, you could always go down to the studs from the inside, put a piece of treated plywood (painted black) over the window itself, and screw that into place so that it's flush with the studs.  

Many of the issues we’ve seen can be boiled down to a few mistakes.The three greatest mistakes we see are:1) Overpaying for your property,2) Treating your flip as a part-time job,3) Doing the work yourself.

I can lookup (I don't think I can calculate it anymore) and compare the section properties and tell you how the Al piece compares.We were also thinking of sistering two of these together: https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/trusses-i-joists-engineered-lumber/laminated-veneer-lumber-lvl-strand-lumber/1-3-4-x-7-1-4-lvl-1-9e/1061006/building-materials/trusses-i-joists-engineered-lumber/laminated-veneer-lumber-lvl-strand-lumber/1-3-4-x-7-1-4-lvl-1-9e/1061161/p-1444438527854.htmWe'd have to get a treated version or wrap them to protect from the elements.

I would just suggest to keep things simple "overpay" for the property and just treat it all as basis in the property.

Good clients who trust us and treat us right, good properties.

Because I run a business and Uncle Sam is up my tail-pipe with a microscpe BUT also because the state and commerce dept/ require great records to assure our client's are being fairly treated and legally served.

You thought they would have more time to focus on your property and treat it like it was their own?

I see too many times where investors treat bad properties like many women treat bad men. 

To me this is simple customer service, and how I would want to be treated if I were a renter.Just my 2 cents.Ice maker parts.
