Hey Grant, glad to see there are some other people around my age in the area, I'm 23, just graduated college from Iowa State in Mechanical Engineering.

Someone else already mentioned it but there is some mechanism of regaining some of it by moving back in for two more years, but with the rental time frame deducted. 

So when the job was over, the supplier put a mechanic's lien on parent's house.

In Cleveland, street-by-street matters more, so lean on an investor‑savvy agent and PM to avoid D pockets; in Columbus, watch older housing stock and factor roofs, foundations, and mechanicals into your offer.

In some ways it is turnkey (mechanicals, quality finishes in high touchpoint areas), but in other ways there's additional equity to build from the start (space to add additional livable sq ft).

Mechanical Systems (roof, HVAC, plumbing) – These are more about protecting value than increasing it.

Buying and selling a property in an inter-vivos, revocable trust is fine, so long as you have the trust reviewed by a competent attorney, and you understand exactly what you are getting.Here's a very basic explanation of the mechanics: when ready to close, the current trustee would resign. 

Sprinkler systems, fire rating, STC ratings, extreme spikes in mechanical system costs.

The real benefit is that it's a 24/7 mechanism, on blockchain, moves quicker.

Complex mechanisms that few had any education even existed.
