@Daniel Strain welcome to BP.

Electrician comes out and no one carries that main breaker any more (panel is apparently from the 60's) and requires a full-blown new panel.

(This has to do with where a good spot for the ductwork is, where the electrical panel is, where the gas pipe will come in to the house, where the furnace vent pipe(s) will go, how long the Freon lines are for a future A/C, etc.) 

One window pane is cracked, the front and back windows are broken and then ceiling fan in the kitchen is broken.

Offer price of 69k contingent on pest inspection, replace roof, replace bad ac unit, and repair broken window panes (BB Guns Sux), and seller concession of 4140 for closing cost.

I am an architect by trade, so home efficiency is very important to me personally, as it is for many people my age (22-35).I think if you tracked your/your tenants utility usage for a year, put it in a spreadsheet for perspective tenants to see, you can make it work to your advantage by showing that a little more in rent is offset by lower utilities, all while putting less strain on our planet.

This window is double pane and I think I do not need an egress window as the exit door from the basement is two feet away from the bedroom.Thanks everyone, I am learning tons of information!!!

The main distribution panel is obsolete and should be replaced and should be moved to an appropriate location."

However at a young age, it has been difficult and financially straining to start anything in REI.

Then Repeat...... but eventually using cash for down payments rather than HELOC money as I have to pay interest only payments during the life of the loan which strains cash flowWhat ya think. good strategy?
