Ah, first I thought you might be in Hawaii.

Looks like a rugged & beautiful island.  Good luck in your pursuits!

Hi Ryan - what do you mean by "country water?"  To me that sounds like a well.  I've always live in the country and always had a well, just never referred to it that way.

Is it the Rube Goldberg Geo thermal system that is screaming loud?  Maybe the belt?  Maybe it should be disabled and disclosed to potential buyers?

No doubt about that!  I used to live in Warren as a kid, at the time I remember they were building 3 bedroom brick ranches like crazy,  if I recall 10 mile east of the horse track area.  Don't think the race track is there anymore.

Thanks!

This is the '70s kitchen upgrade I did & it went b4 the work was completed.

Kitchen & bath's sell!  That is the bottom line!  Make it a bit better than the competition & sell it fast! 

Nice kitchen btw!

Welcome Steve, sounds like you have a lot going on which makes it difficult to tackle a response to.  I will say if the cleaning business is making a little money wouldn't it be better to focus on that.  Maybe do the cleaning yourself & not deal with employees?  Or get subcontract or casual help that you 1099 at the end of the year.  

I've heard uber is tough to make any $$ after you consider depreciation on your vehicle.  Plus unless your a night owl the hours suck.   Where are you living now that your considering buying RE?  If you need a residence seems like a duplex, triplex or quad might make sense.

Good Luck
