All he had to do was measure and cut a hole (which he ended up doing anyway) like it's done with all plumbing when installing cabinets.3) needed to add power the new ceiling lights in the kitchen, so the geniuses removed the dedicated computer outlet, rerouted the computer outlet to an old fuse box that supplies 1/2 the power to the house (don't ask me why, I moved into the house with1/2 fuse 1/2 circuit panel).

I do it all the time to houses that have never had central HVAC and don't have any duct work.You can control the temp in the house from one location and even add a programmable Wi-Fi thermostat for remote monitoring and control.You won't be cutting holes in the side of the house and making it look like a hotel instead of a nice house.This will increase your resale value over the other options.Mini splits and window AC units look ghetto to me, so I spend the money to do it correctly.

A hinge can come loose from normal wear and tear after a year or two or ten if the hinge wears out or the screw hole wallows out. 

A turnover, an eviction you are in a hole.

Quote from @Stacy McGee: OK, you were receptive to my advice, even though I come across as an a-hole.

If you have a hole this big, you probably have a dozen more you haven't even discovered yet.

Street lights, pot hole maintenance, water quality, sewers and hospitals... are vital to safety and the value of your real estate.

It is about making it easy for a motivated seller to find YOU when they become motivated.Everyone just gets lost in the rabbit hole of DMM cold calling and all that jazz.If everyone just stopped, take a few steps back and for Pete's sake THINK, the answers are right in front of you.How many of you newbie wholesalers want to be a wholesaler and the first thing they do is drive for dollars, do door knocking, cold calling SMS, bandit signs, buy lists etc. etc.Have you established ANY credibility yet?

While you actually may be just opening from one rabbit hole of headache from left pocket to  another rabbit hole headache into the right pocket, all these investment has known and unknown risk which could eat  our soul and financial if we don't understand of what we're doing.this is why in biggerpocket i no longer curious or think if someone has 9999 doort.
