Key Takeaways 🔥 Use the 70% Rule to set your Maximum Allowable Offer and protect margins🔥 Know your holding costs—each month can quietly cost $500–$1,000+🔥 Budget for all five cost buckets to avoid profit-killing surprises🔥 Renovate strategically—focus on ROI, not over-improving past comps🔥 Add 15–20% to your reno budget and 1–2 months to your timeline…
Key Takeaways 🔥 Even 1–2% dehydration hurts focus and physical performance—stay ahead of it🔥 Eat water-rich foods like cucumbers (97%) and watermelon (91%) to hydrate🔥 Aim for 3.7L/day (men) and 2.7L (women), more if active or in heat🔥 Hydration matters more with age—older adults are more prone to dehydration🔥 All fluids count—coffee, tea, and milk…
Key Takeaways 🔥 Preventative pest control avoids $3K+ termite damage not covered by insurance🔥 Baits eliminate colonies; heat works fast but lacks lasting protection🔥 Use IPM—combine exclusion, cleanliness, and targeted treatments for long-term results🔥 Treatment costs vary—foundation type and resistance can multiply expenses🔥 Remove food, water, and access to reduce chemical reliance Termite Control Metrics…
Key Takeaways 🔥 NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water doesn’t ensure chemical compatibility—verify by use🔥 Size tanks by actual use—irrigation in dry areas can triple indoor demand🔥 Concrete tanks cost more upfront but last 2–3× longer than cheaper options🔥 Regular maintenance is critical—neglect shortens even 40-year tank lifespans🔥 Include drought and emergency value—not just payback—in ROI…
Key Takeaways 🔥 Base gutter size on roof area and rainfall, not neighborhood norms🔥 Copper costs 5× more than vinyl but lasts 3× longer with low upkeep🔥 Without 1/16″–1/4″/ft slope, even big gutters can overflow🔥 Extend downspouts 5+ feet to protect your foundation from damage🔥 Gutters pay off—$2K+ in damage avoided often exceeds install cost…
Key Takeaways 🔥 Copper gutters ($25–$50/ft) last 5× longer than vinyl when maintained🔥 Proper drainage prevents foundation repairs that can cost 8× more than gutters🔥 Size gutters to roof area and rainfall to avoid water damage escalation🔥 Ensure slope of 1/16–1/4 inch per 10 ft for optimal flow and fewer clogs🔥 Confirm ASTM and SMACNA…
Key Takeaways 🔥 Go beyond the 1/8″ per foot slope for better drainage in heavy rain🔥 Quality installation prevents $10K–$50K+ in future structural repairs🔥 Match gutter size, slope, and downspout capacity for full system performance🔥 Choose seamless gutters to reduce leaks and boost protection🔥 Gutters can deliver 100–500% ROI by preventing costly damage Gutter Slope…
Key Takeaways 🔥 Size gutters based on your roof’s drainage, not just what’s common🔥 Choose climate-suitable materials—copper and zinc last for decades🔥 Gutters protect foundations—ROI comes from avoided damage, not resale🔥 Near trees? Clean 3–4× yearly—twice isn’t enough🔥 Use compatible metals—mixing types causes corrosion and early failure Gutter System Material Costs (Installed) Installed Cost Ranges…
Key Takeaways 🔥 Use the Euclidean algorithm for fast GCF—ideal for large numbers🔥 Simplify fractions by dividing both terms by their GCF🔥 RSA encryption relies on GCF’s ease vs. prime factorization’s difficulty🔥 Linear Diophantine equations require GCF to divide the constant🔥 GCF applies to polynomials too—same logic, different format Formal Mathematical Definition Ever wonder what…
Key Takeaways 🔥 Temperament matters—some big dogs are better for small spaces than tiny high-energy breeds🔥 Bigger dogs = bigger budget—expect $1,000–$3,000/year in costs🔥 Keep your dog at a healthy weight to add up to 2.5 extra years🔥 Exercise needs vary by breed—activity trumps size alone🔥 Know size-based health risks—small dogs: dental; large dogs: joints,…
