Like one little lot split i was doing in Lake Oswego.. we do the pre app and all the other things to get to a land use decisions ( probably 15 to 20k)  and no mention of this through the whole thing. .but one of the land use conditions was to replace the old water line in the street with a 200 ft run of 8 inch ductile iron.. all for hooking up two houses.. total BS this is a major road.. the cost to do this will be significant .. so we are appealing that condition.. 

If it looks remotely old, most likely it'll need replacing.

@Matthew PaulI take my boys to my projects as well. 8 yr old can assemble a ceiling fan in 20 minutes, 9 yr old can paint an entire room and hang blinds.

That old saying about "who you know" is 100% true.

He told me I could keep my dog since I had it when I originally moved my old apartment.

I’m a 23 year old self employed contractor with a 700 credit score.From 2014-2017 I haven’t shown much income due to write offs.

Separate furnaces both 15 years old.

I have significant experience in the syndication space (my old job as Director of Acquisitions), but have never had to raise earnest money and/or do a JV.

For example, I bought a duplex this year that had brand new furnaces, hot water heaters, and AC units, and a roof that is 4 years old.

I am reading books and asking everyone I can about investing and I’d just like to open a new world of networking.
