Anyway I am done with these political posts because some of you don't know a joke from a hole in the wall.

Jon, did you add color to the killz or just put it down white?

I love posting these off the wall items and seeing the replies.

The options are hire painter for $5,000 to paint a whole house (ceilings, walls, trim, as well as small touchups for drywall nicks, caulk gaps in baseboards, etc). 

Purchase price: $55,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Sale price: $145,500 Not a huge house, two really bad foundation walls What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@jaron walling thanks for taking the time to offer your insight!

I need to take out the dryer anyway because I suspect that the dryer vent has never been cleaned, and it runs 25' feet, so it's not one of those through-the-wall ones you don't really have to worry about.I figure I'm going to have an afternoon routine once every five years of pulling out the dryer, draining the WH, snaking the dryer vent, replacing the anode, and putting everything back again.

Wall Street is going to figure out these things are stupid, pull back their dollars (think dot com bust, when investors realized that "people talking about a thing" and "actual profitability" are NOT, in fact, the same thing), and poof there goes DSCR, before you know it you have to squint to tell DSCR rates/fees from HML, and at that point why not just save the hassle and get a HML?

Now add in the $ relocating from Wall Street into Main Street via the "Gold Rush" in SFR funds happening today.

If the walls are open, you will want to replace the pipes with PEX (most likely).
