@Alaina Nolan Yes, we could do that, but prefer to have the safety of knowing his entire allotment would be available to use no matter how any investment in Augusta would turn out.  

Besides the safety of your own children, you also need to worry about the safety of your tenants.

The trick is to get started and not get stuck in perpetual learning mode but at the same time not to fall into any high-risk or scam type situation  - lots of sharks out there ready to jump on novice investors.   

This is certainly a job needing permits and geology compaction reports/inspections.The demo portion is easy, simply knock out the bottom of the pool (every building and safety department has their own rules so some may have you demo out more than just the bottom) and demo the coping, tile, and pool decking.

Excessive debris and/or storage was observed.This can be a health and/or safety concern.

All of the smoke detectors in the house are barely working (they give off a very low noise indicating they have not been used or tested in a very long time) and they are not located in all the places required by current safety standards.

We also wouldn't take a house with the walkout in the backyard (kid safety).

This is an important metric in real estate as well the traditional world of equity capital and is also akin to the ROI although not the same.Where this gets tricky is as the equity in the property builds while the original investment capital remains the ROE changes so if your model is more of a long term hold the equity that builds up through principle pay down and appreciation now becomes very important to look at and understand for refinancing purposes.

Part of which is a health & safety to prevent Legionella bacteria.In regards to the fixtures, they’re rather expensive designer fixtures from $700-$900 a piece, so they only trust one plumber to work on them (the man who installed them) who said the temperature was fine. 

The appraisal came back today and due to safety concerns there are two items that need repairs.
