For those of you that have properties with private pools, how do you compensate for the increased electric bill from heating the pool, or do you just absorb the cost?

We're in search of a licensed engineer or architect to prepare a plan for a backflow prevention device in NYC.

Then go price an engineer to do your site plan and foundation. 

I know in Washington state a home owner can do their own work including electrical and plumbing, but as you pointed out has to live in the property for 1 year after completion.If you get licensed as a contractor (in WA state it takes some paperwork, filing fee and insurance/ bond, no test, no experience etc.. )  Then you do the work under you contractors license and no holding period needed. 

Dwelling suffered fire damage throughout the interior and exterior affecting framing members, electrical, drywall, and insulation.

Two to three months right before she had to leave her amazing job didn’t stop my electric bill from being so unusually high my electric company even contacted me to have my home checked out by a professional electrician for anything faulty.

They are quite difficult to find on other property search engines. 

I was fine but folks basically wanted to rent for less than my cost of electricity... haha so that one was a failure but the 2007-11 years which were pretty apocalyptic :-)  I don't think Margaritaville is ever going to make sense as an investment property because of the prices and the HOA fees.

We also had our foundation engineered certified (FHA required) Had a scheduled closing with an FHA buyer.

These inspections should include electrical, plumbing, and septic/sewer contractors (to address the underground infrastructure) but also can include pool, home/building inspections, asphalt, and more, depending on the park.
