@Shelby LeBlanc, hopefully the lock change works, but if it is a contractor's "friend" as Patricia states, between a functioning camera, and a bluetooth lockbox you could have a good record.  

So visually speaking, heat pumps and conventional systems essentially look the same.

These function much like conventional loans but with different qualification criteria and similar closing costs.Hope that helps.  

When you can buy a functioning rental house in the mid west for 100k.. 

With great upside potential with how I visualized the space after repairs.

An attractive property visually and financially4.

Always nice to have seed money and you're thinking in the right direction.I'd suggest using the people search function (if it hasn't been limited to Pro only), and find active BP folks there to send colleague requests to.

As @Christian Stoecklein mentioned, this is purely a function of effective taxes rates in the present vs projected tax rates at withdrawal.If your effective tax rate at withdrawal is projected to be lower than your current effective tax rate, pre-tax accounts generally make more sense.If your effective tax rate is projected to be higher, after-tax (Roth) accounts generally make more sense.Most individuals, especially the middle class and high-earners, tend to fall into the former bucket. 

thank you for anyone reading this and may leave a comment in advance.I bought a single family home in Cincinnati Ohio, Mount healthy area in 2019. 74k to purchase, 26k to flip (from total disaster to be fully functional with new HVAC/water heater). 3bd 3bath 1800sq with 3000sqft backyard . 

If you are truly interested in scaling, know your role or function and outsource the others.
