Hi Jeff, as @Eliott Elias mentioned above, Builder's risk should cover this and is something we require on all of our properties.
I have a few people we work closely with that I can recommend to you if interested.

You can simply use the Quickbooks app. You can take a picture of your receipt or link your CC and it will automatically populate onto the app. It has the ability to separate business and personal expenses.
Hope this helps!

I agree with @Kevin Paulk, the ABC's of RE Investing by Ken McElroy has a lot of great information

Hey @Engelo Rumora, It definitely is a very unfortunate situation for many and hopefully you can spring back from this, but the likelihood of you getting your money back is extremely slim, if at all. The new CEO recently mentioned that FTX customer funds were used to buy homes for employees and advisors, also had seen a report that FTX personally loaned Sam $3B. Where this money went is the golden question. Can't also leave out the fact that Sam donated 100s of millions from FTX customers to politicians and related organizations.
It is still too early to see the full extent of this damage, but I have a feeling there will be much more pain in the crypto industry in the near-term.
I personally would move all crypto off any exchange and into a cold wallet for the time being.

Hi @Shannon Wang, as for the water pressure, another thing you can try is removing the "water saver" that is located in the shower head, by the end which screws onto the arm
This should do the trick

In most cases, it definitely is about the money as there are not many people who are willing to sell their house just because someone likes it. However, it could be a good way to initiate a conversation.
