@McKinly SpringerThis did not bond as they didn’t prep the floor properly nor was this done properlyIt does not appear they even used a self leveling material like ardexTo me this appears all of it needs to be ripped out and redone properly

I’m concerned this could come back to bite me so to speak.

Hello, I’m have plans to remodel the basement in my house and rent it out. but before making any major renovations, I thought it would be a good idea to ask in here if anyone in the Cobb county area in GA has done this before?

@David Herfel, connect with an investor-focused real estate agent in your respective market who has house hack before or routinely helps and services house-hack buyers.

Any guidance or resources to deepen my understanding on this subject would be greatly appreciated, as I'm fully committed to investing the necessary effort.

Another item is, my logic at purchasing this property was to spend less than what I am paying for my current living expenses and it is about there.

Any tips for finding that sweet spot between profitability and sustainability?

Let me know if you need any help with meetup info/connections. 

Any tips or suggestions I should keep in mind?
