Fairly sure it's simply ply wood with peel and stick tiles on the floor. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-21-08 |
Depending on how the plywood is attached, it may be possible to unscrew or knock the plywood upwards if nailed, and then shim the low joists so that the plywood is flat and level, before reattaching the plywood to the joists.
If the plywood is in good shape, that is. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-21-08 |
Interesting! That doesn't sound that bad of a process honestly. A bit of work but not too bad! | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-21-08 |
Yeah, if your low spot is easily identified I think it's your best bet. My floor was made of individual subfloor planks and very wavy throughout because the old joists were bowed, I ended up cutting out the whole subfloor and sistering new joists before laying new plywood. If I could have just shimmed them it would ha... | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-21-08 |

I’m looking to install security bars around the lower-level windows of my house. What services should I be reaching out to for this?
Do we think this would be effective in keeping people out of a home that’s being renovated? | r/renovations | post | r/Renovations | 2024-21-08 |
Install isn't complicated, so I would select a product you like and find a handyman type. Just be aware it's outside the weather seal so you need someone a little thoughtful about how they install. Consider fire escape risk.
No idea if that's appropriate security for your situation. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-21-08 |

I would would replace the tile because it looks super dated... Inexpensive? I would probably look into painting the tile. | r/renovations | comment | r/Renovations | 2024-21-08 |

Depends a lot on what is coming down on the wall. 8' is really short and as long as the wall isnt part of the lateral system and only supporting 1 story above it then you would not need a steel beam.

Yes, here are the numbers for my property I posted on another thread: I bought a $250K home and put 20% down ($50K), so $4,800 annual net cash flow yields a 9.6% CoC ROI.

Yes, builder bought the rate down to make them cash flow still. Pricing is all relative, of course.

Yes! I have been doing it, and it’s been exactly what I needed. One of the things that has held me back from investing in real estate for as long as I’ve delayed has just been lack of knowledge.

I’d go for it. You can refinance later to lower your rates. And the sooner you buy, the more time your property will have to accrue value. And you’ll be profiting off of the rents. Of course, you need to make sure this will all fit with your budget and goals. | r/rentalinvesting | comment | r/RentalInvesting | 2024-18-08 |
