I know this is a community of encouraging people and I was just looking at different avenue to keep the ball rolling.

Your realtor dropped the ball on this.

Ply hard ball with the builder, they are desperate right now to sell.

Get an idea of what houses in a particular area should sell for Put up alerts for same type of houses at the price I can pay and make a profit When I get an alert I call the listing agent. ask a few questions and put in a full price offer I don’t look to low ball.  

I definitely don't have a crystal ball but at the end of the day, its really the return that matters and not the price you paid. 

The two most important books every REI must know, and understand (this is where many drop the ball), Geometry and Algebra.

That would cut you out of the billing process (one less headache), and they both could have a separate account with the electrical company.Then they could run their electric heaters until their place become the temperature of the sun--with no impact on your wallet or time (or thoughts).Good Luck!

If it gets below 60 degrees, even with the door open, then I would consider buying her a plug-in baseboard heater or something to help keep the temperatures up.

Most Landlords wait until a problem appears, then they try to figure out how to handle it, which puts them behind the 8-ball.

Worse case scenario, you low ball them dramatically to set a really low anchor.
