The previous owner had put down vinyl wood flooring in a lot of the apartments, but we are finding out that they didn't install them properly so they are pulling up from the subfloor.

Ryan has an excellent suggestion of cutting our a section, installing a new piece of drywall, and then matching the texture and paint of the area.

Remeber that your sqft costs will fluctate with the number of sheets, difficulty of installation, location of project and level of finish needed.ieNumber of Sheets - 10pcs of 4'x12'x1/2" sheets in a basement bedroom are far different from adding 100pcs for an addition.Difficulty - having to install and finish drywall in a 2 story great room around exposed timbers with numerous ceiling cans is much more difficult than installing and finishing on a flat ceiling that's 8' high.Location - if you typically do rehabs in a city/subsurb then bringing your crew to do drywall installation thats in a rural area it will cost you more for distance.

My guess too is that now, it could be rare.Note that doing a lease-option or any installment seller financing deal outside the HUD program using Sec 8 payments is illegal, you can get into fraud issues with the use of funds and accepting funds allocated as rent subsidies.You can contact your regional HUD office as to vouchers and development or redevelopment of affordable housing.

I can honestly say the most expensive thing I've done on a single item is $4500 for an hvac unit.My personal goal is to get a 100% return on any item I install on a house (total price + labor = $100, sales price goes up to recoup the $100 and puts another $100 in my pocket).

Does anyone have any thoughts on adding a second layer of shingles versus tearing off and installing new shingle...thanks.

A less expensive way is to have a gas conversion gun installed in place of the existing oil gun.Tell me about the existing heating system(s).stephen---------------

I would install baby monitor cams in the common area so that he/she can see everything.
