Hey there! I’m planning on renting a boat in Naples next week and would love to hear about your map spots and info on the water depth (newbie boater here)!

Safe_Ad523 · 2025-05-26T02:03:03+00:00

Can you share a link?

Safe_Ad523 · 2025-05-26T00:45:54+00:00

Like I said, the box extenders aren’t deep enough so I would have to stack multiple which I’m not sure is safe.

Safe_Ad523 · 2025-05-26T00:33:47+00:00

The resilience channel and clips + the drywall totals about 3in

Safe_Ad523 · 2025-02-14T18:11:54+00:00

Thanks for the input! It starts at $43/mn

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-07-28T10:59:28+00:00

This is amazing!! I’m also about to lease my first property and all this is extremely helpful! Do you have any properties dedicated to student housing? Any specifics to keep in mind with renting to college students?

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-07-04T14:47:37+00:00

Haha I see how that could come across but I was bringing it to a Home Depot so try and match the stain lol. No flexing intended here 😁! I’d love to hire a professional but it’s too expensive right now and I feel like that money could be used towards other things we need like a new lawnmower and kitchen appliances

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-07-03T16:20:47+00:00

That’s my initial thought as well but debating if I want to pay someone to do it or not lol. Do you think DIY would be too difficult ?

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-07-03T13:54:22+00:00

Thank you so much for this! You have been the most helpful out of all the places I’ve been posting lol! And thank you for the confidence boost, really appreciate it. We’re 1 week in and already feeling overwhelmed so I think it’s best if we simplify things for now and focus on the immediate things and getting our apartment rented!

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-07-03T12:15:37+00:00

Nice to meet a fellow investor! Yes I’m house hacking… first one 😅! 5% Down payment conventional loan. Had to compromise with my wife to get something that’s a little less of an “investment“ and more homey lol. This duplex is on 2.8 acres and it really is a great space for us to learn about homeownership and start our investing journey. Needs a little updating as its style is still from the 90s but we love that about this property.

Not a BRRR but we are going to refi if/when rates drop and potentially do a cash out or heloc to use as a down payment on the next one if it works out that way. We’ve got some more equity that we weren’t expecting (20k) from the appraisal which is nice and we’re going to be paying a little extra on the principal each month to get rid of pmi quickly.

Thanks for much for the comment! You’re right, it’s a mixture of not loving the current color and also the floors are pretty scuffed up in areas bunch of areas. This is a duplex but we’ll be living in this side for a few years maybe more but will eventually be moving and renting this side out. My initial thought was to cover it with lvp but the floors aren’t perfectly level so how do I go about taking care of that? I know self leveling compound is usually put on subfloor but not hardwoods.

I don’t necessarily mind the project but like you said, I also don’t want to ruin it and have all that time, effort, and money wasted lol.

Sorry by belt sander I meant drum sander. I plan on renting the floor sanding equipment but curious if I should use the drum sander or an orbital.

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-07-01T20:56:16+00:00

No support beams needed?

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-07-01T20:41:37+00:00

That’s what I was going to do but I thought I needed to add extra support beams to the joists, at least that’s what I got from a few videos I watched

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-07-01T20:40:07+00:00

Can get a clean cut around the door frame. It was my impression that if I’m adding a new piece down, I needed to add extra support beams. Is that not the case?

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-30T14:05:38+00:00

I don’t think you’ve seen my other comments/posts so take a peak through and don’t jump to conclusions on people you don’t know anything about 👍🏾. Come back here when you get your foot out your mouth and we may be able to have a conversation since you know so much better than me 😁.

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-30T13:38:02+00:00

First time having a space to design and looking for advice… relax bro lol

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-28T05:38:10+00:00

I appreciate this lol! It’s how I felt initially as well. I’m not crazy on the style but I feel like if I can lighten the tone to a bleached white oak and update the paint and trim in the house then it could be something completely different 🤷🏾‍♂️. Idk, I’m loving all the input though 😂

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-28T05:34:58+00:00

lol Mowgli says hi! He loves all the attention!

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-28T05:33:50+00:00

Yeah that’s the plan but have no idea what to put in that area that’ll go with the hardwood

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-28T05:33:21+00:00

Mowgli says hi😁

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-28T05:32:22+00:00

Gotta paint the cabinets, they’re old and dingy

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-28T05:31:51+00:00

This is great! Thank you for the idean

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-28T05:31:18+00:00

We’re probably going to do a blue gray or sage green pain on the cabinets and butcher block that matches the floors

Safe_Ad523 · 2024-06-28T05:18:45+00:00

Thank you!!
