The tax reductions are a major stimulus, which has yet to really kick in.

It's in a high raise building, where each square feet weights.

Well, last night I lightened up my keychain (felt really weird to not have that weight in my pocket). 

Profits from real estate come from cash flow, appreciation, and principal reduction. 

Instead of getting up on the toilet, turning around to face forward (putting 100% of body weight on one side of the toilet in the process), planting both feet on the seat, standing up, and squatting down (for #2 or #1), which will cause the bolts holding the toilet in place to come loose (our toilets are built to assume weight roughly evenly distributed on the seat).

I care more about the last 3 years of activity, and don't put as much weight on medical bills, because 1 really bad day in the ER can ruin you if you're not really well insured.  

I think the most important thing is to have a very specific agreement of the work performed for what pay and/or rent reduction. 

As to the original question the seller is bound to the original contract but of course not obligated to do any repairs/price reductions unless agreed upon.

This would be a whole another kind of learning curve, but I can't see paying $122/door in Charlotte for $950 blended weighted rent.

It might carry more weight if you keep it coming from others-can you get her personally involved more?
