We're gearing up to start construction in March 2022 (you can see project financials, construction breakdown, and pitch deck here if you're interested).⬆️3-family to be converted into 7-unit apartment building.A few days ago, I also closed on a vacant 3-family nearby for $150,000.

11) Who is paying to modify or replace the deck, since that height has changed, too?

I can send you a slide deck from the housing authority on the new rules if you'd like. 

Right here:View from our deck. :)

I used RAM Construction for a deck in Apple Valley and they did a really nice job.

Your builder would come in, strip the roof & decking off that side, reset the rafters with bracket ties (like they use for hurricanes) and collar ties across the top, then reset the decking and re-roof.

Currently appraised at 325 to 335k due to latest comps this year. 39k in Rehab for two new bathrooms/Deck/Floors/Paint/New Water Heater/Open Concept wall removal etcLooking to rent out for 1550/month. (~1101 mortgage/124 property management/191 taxes/2mil insurance coverage).

It would have taken a while to cut all of those 600+ tires by hand with a razor blade to each sidewall,  it I know a lot of tire shops that do it that way everyday.

Doing small things right now and eventually want to do some value add projects to add forced appreciation (e.g. update the bathroom, add a deck) Lessons learned?

If no, I was thinking about bargaining with tenant and asking them to vamoosh for a week in exchange for a much nicer deck area for them to enjoy.
