Hey @Melissa Allen, everyone here said it well.

I can lookup (I don't think I can calculate it anymore) and compare the section properties and tell you how the Al piece compares.We were also thinking of sistering two of these together: https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/trusses-i-joists-engineered-lumber/laminated-veneer-lumber-lvl-strand-lumber/1-3-4-x-7-1-4-lvl-1-9e/1061006/building-materials/trusses-i-joists-engineered-lumber/laminated-veneer-lumber-lvl-strand-lumber/1-3-4-x-7-1-4-lvl-1-9e/1061161/p-1444438527854.htmWe'd have to get a treated version or wrap them to protect from the elements.

Honestly I get flack for this, but This is why I never pay a contractor upfront and I know 99% say they won’t do the work and will use the “what if you don’t pay me” - well we have a contract and you can lien my house.

What sells well in KC is well occupied well maintained properties with great leases in place. 

I use it for my personal portfolio as well.

Im sticking with Clev, Over the last 10 years it has treated me very well. 

I'm still at the very beginning, so I'm learning more about the different kinds of loans out there, as well as refinancing after doing value adds.

Because I had everything in place, it wasn't that bad, but even now, I always use property managers for my out of state properties (and a couple local one's as well).Second, You just need to search around for a property manager that meets your needs.

A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

Well from my experience the strategies that grow net worth the fastest require the most time.
