Thank you Kristine.

Hi David they’re wood windows. The house was built in 1958. I’ll see if I can get a contractor to try that to see if some will lift. Good thing is new windows increase value if I just have to buy new ones. 

Thanks Troy this helped me decide. The property hasn’t pulled in a lot to cover the cost but for safety I can manage fixing some within budget. 

Hi Nathan, I got an inspection but they didn’t find that issue. It was known before closing due to the tenant mentioning it, the same time she mentioned the window was broken into the seller dropped the price to compensate. I assumed that her family member got locked out and broke the front window to get in because she didn’t seem fearful at all about it. But she told the last owner it was a break in. After closing I heard that the area is known for the windows to be sealed to prevent break ins. So I was unsure if I should replace them. 

Hi everyone i purchased a property and found out from the tenant that all of the windows are sealed shut. I’m not sure if this was done on purpose or because they had been repainted and dried shut over the years. The tenant says she had someone to break in the front window recently but for reasons unspoken I feel like that may have been someone she knew that couldn’t get in she has a family member staying with her. However, should I replace all of the windows in the house? I’m concerned that it’s a fire or safety issue? 

Thanks John, I ended up finding others on the forum that said similar to this. I feel more comfortable with it now. 

Hey everyone, I’m closing on my first property and looking for a PM. The one that I’ve liked so far require that they are put on the home insurance as a co-insured. That seemed odd to me. Especially since in the indemnity they relinquished liabilities to the owner. Is this something that’s common? Or should I keep looking? 

Thanks Erik
