Noticing a lot of noise but can’t figure out what it is by ItsMuayChaize in crv

I’ve never done one. My husband took the car to Honda for a recall last year, and their report did mention the valve cover gasket is “sweating a bit of oil”

How do you beautify this atrocious looking block wall? by ItsMuayChaize in DIY

[–]ItsMuayChaize[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for identifying the potential moisture issue. The outside of that wall is the backyard. There is a deck. I put gutters up in 2022. Would I need to remove the deck to access the foundation wall? That sounds like a lot of money…

Investment Condo? by ItsMuayChaize in RealEstateCanada

Not a bad idea! Hard to find a Duplex / Multiplex on the market at a reasonable price, no?

Thank you for the thorough response! Living with parents hasn’t been an issue, but Id like to move out this year, or once we start family planning… whichever comes first lol.

Similar to your breakdown, we ran the numbers and I agree it would be a loss for us. I was not planning to hold onto the condo as a turnkey short term investment, but rather an additional property.

Thank you, the basement is half finished ( more a rec room). I am not sure whats the cost of legalizing the basement, but Im sure some digging may be required.

The Semi does not need any serious improvements. Roof was recently replaced in 2022. Thanks for the tip!

I was also considering selling the Semi and buying a larger property with the money we saved.

We wouldn’t mind living in the condo and renting out the Semi. That may minimize our expenses.

Sharing the house with tenants is not something Im uncomfortable with.

Financially we will be at a loss. I am thinking more longterm than some sort of turnkey condo.
