that's great I just removed those comments it's nice to hear that they did that, I have no idea how you got the permit in the beginning with an HIC license?

In a loose sense, I would call any lender a "partner" too, since they will require not only your monthly payments, and will require regular reporting as well on the operations of the property (but this is a more semantic and philosophical discussion).But, ways you can try to come up with that money: refi your home and/or investment properties.  

At present, most MLS services have removed the BAC section and now it is presumed (but not required) that seller's offer buyer's broker commission (typically 2-2.5%).          

The contractor removed everything, but just left it all inside the home. 

You need to pay for water, sewer, and garbage removal in NJ.

Do make sure that you are over-insured if anything, and as Chris suggests, don't do dumb things with the property.....no loose handrails, broken steps, etc.

Currently, we have boilers and radiators that we want to remove to create space in the basement for a future conversion into another dwelling unit.
