Hustle, cut expenses, save up, then invest.You bought your primary in 2020.

I want to tackle replacing the water lines to the kitchen sink myself and have a couple of questions, how do I connect the new CPVC lines to the old galvanized lines at the point where I will be cutting out the old galvanized line?

As soon as funds are drawn and the statement cuts with a balance showing, you will be responsible for the minimum payment at that time.

Not sure what the ROI will be, but my rationale was that if I cut costs on something obvious like leaving out appliances, a buyer may wonder where else I've decided to cut costs.

There is no short cut, unfortunately. 

There is no cut and dry answer to this, appraisers will ultimately look at condition and comparables 

I am usually not willing to try to get them to speed up too much, as I am always afraid it will to cutting corners on the work.

So yo're a friend of theirs and agreed to keep a secret.I know more can be said than what is being said, let's keep it as a big secret....ooooh, LOLThere are no secret ways of cutting a deal that have not been done before, so I'd say if no one can explain why it's different, it's hype!

Hopefully this incident was a fluke.The Fallacy of Sunk Costs :cool: Although not quite enough to cut them loose, I'd be VERY careful to make it clear that this is not acceptable behavior and they'd better follow the letter of the agreement at all times.Poor tenants always end up costing you a ton of headaches and costs.Keep an Eagle Eye on them and show them who's The Boss

even just a standup shower would make it sell a bit easier. i feel like trying to sell for 80k is really cutting your profit margin.
