We have a four year old home and lately I’ve been seeing all these nail pops randomly on the walls and ceilings. Is this normal?!

Yeah it's normal. Generally due to settling. 99% of the time it's aetsthetic (u can fix them if you want. Id watch YouTube video of how to DIY it personally)

Some are normal as the house settles. Luckily they’re incredibly easy to fix, especially if you have the original/matched paint.

We were told not to do any painting for the first year due to watching the nail pops and if it could be a problem. The builder said it would void our home warranty if we painted! They came in 18 months after and fixed a few thing and repainted.

Soil expands and contracts with seasons. House adjusts/settles. Normal.

I read this as “We have a 4 year old at home… Is this normal?” And I was thinking, “oh yeah this is normal. I’m surprised I don’t have nails popping with my 4 yo yet” 😂

If there is a case that we have to quarantine again. Do you all think it is possible for store associates to work remotely? If so, what are some ways this could work? I fear another pandemic or outbreak and so many people being out of work again. I can't even fathom those that had jobs in retail that had little to no choice to not be remote.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos.

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
