Just finishing up a rehab for a new rental and I have a question about capitalizing installation charges for appliances.

We solvent weld all plumbing with a union installed and then put linoleum in the cabinet.

The pros are: Looks nice, easy to put in, you can replace a piece later if it gets jacked up, you can install over almost any surface.

These are the details:The house has been on the market for at least 3 monthsHouse is 2196 sq ft Great condition on the outside with a new roof just installed within the last year.Inside needs some updating...

I figured it's not a scorching hot deal, but it is in a good area and is pretty much move-in ready (new carpet and paint already installed), with only some minor touch-ups needed.

FHA is 2 years but there is no straight rule on BK requiring 640 fico it just depends on the investor/bank/lender.I can do BK in 2 years (with ext circumstances 1 yr after CH7 but this is very hard to qualify for) for CH 7 with ficos down to 580 if the borrower has "re-established credit with no lates in the last 12 months and/or since the BK occurred,"Its ideal to setup up to 3 tradelines (credit cards, installment loans, or other) just to show good payment history of 12+ months to show the lender that you are now managing credit responsibly ever since the BK.Some banks can go down to 500 fico's (not us) so its possible FHA and VA have no real "credit score," requirement per say but lenders impose these.

Good insurance guy can look up the address in about 15 seconds to see any past or current problems. and future insurability, coverage specifics and cost.Building departments can help with what the requirements are to install or demo.Good (as in, check with at least three) Pool Contractor, Installation company can help with maintenance, safety and sales costs!

BTU should be 90K just like the old although some installers will tell you that oil burns hotter so you need more with gas (a BTU is a BTU IMO).

Hi Tanisha, word of mouth...most of the people I used i got them from my friends in trades.Unconventional approach: go to the local church (close to your property/properties) and if you "feeling" is right, ask about good reliable locals or people they use. in the worst case you lost half a Saturday or Sunday.I got a welder and garage installer like that (talking to neighbors)Good Luck!

The utility ran the line to the house and installed the meter for free.
