The plumber replaced a screw or two in the hot water tank and told us that because out unit was far from the heater that may be the issue.

Since the date of occupancy could change; So, I’m looking into possibility of vacant or unoccupied insurance coverage to protect our investment with the correct coverage.Living Area:- 3,800 SqFt.Near a lake but looks to be outside FEMA flood zoneARV: $425,000 - $450,000Previous property Hail damage claim (year 2014): $2,600Insurers Replacement costs: $600,000 (Looks high to me)Personal Property costs: $450,000 (Wow!)

It's critical to start with the end in mind and reverse engineer.

I have personally witnessed an engineer and teacher spouse try to claim real estate professional status and fail even though they had significant time... major stumbling block is 1 hour more than 50% of W2 or 1099 hours.

A good start is to establish your end goal and then work back from there.Heads up: Replacing the septic is pretty expensive.

I’m guessing around 1,800 for the primary residence, but we may have to replace floors in both apartments as well.Yes we would go with a basic L kitchen.

The estimated cost to fix is about $8.2k ($4.5k to remove and replace the inside line, and the balance to do the outside portion).

It makes no sense to delude yourself into thinking you're making money only to have a year's profit wiped out when a roof needs to be replace.

So I have a two-flat that I'm house-hacking and I'm replacing the floor in my unit to be able to rent out later.
