Yea, I'm thinking that probably would have been a better option, but not if it was her first purchase and she was dirt poor, then possibly the $7k instant cash may have been a better option.p.s.

He tries to convince you to install a laundry room because he needs to get rid of his washer and dryer, He installs a sun roof because every time he installs a light something burns down.

She was young and once she arrived I found out extremly attractive as well but I had no intentions of dating or marriage at all and I simply wanted to give her an oppertunity at a better life and thought I had the life skills to do so.Well little did I know she was here on a more serious level and wanted to exclude me ( most likely) from her plans and move on with life and find a suitable marriage partner and life probably in England or France.

Two weeks after moving in a pipe broke behind a washer and flooded her whole house.

House WILL need a new roof, new windows, refrigerator, washer/dryer, lawn mower, water heater...

But here's what I have right now....Asking price: $49,000Comps: $100-110kmonthly gross income: $1050needs new shinglesowner says the building needs "updating" (the outside looks fine to me).key points-rents are currently 20% below markettennants pay all utilities except water and sewerbuilding has electric baseboard heattennants currently have free washer/dryer use (this would change quickly if I purchased, and would provide increased income)I know the first thing I have to do is determine how much updating needs to be done.

3) full carpet replacement (home is 1,474 sq ft)4) interior and exterior paint work needed (home built in 1940)5) needs vinyl windows (there are 12-15 windows)6) some wall areas need to be re-sheet rocked due to holes made from previous owner(s)7) basement ceiling is low and should be lifted (room to be lifted another 6")8.) need insulation and sheet rock in basement to cover foundation area to turn into a potential family room area9) new kitchen cabinets10) appliances (washer/dryer/stove/dishwasher/fridge)11) new kitchen countertops12) update bedroom closets13) install regular sized door and doorways for 3 bedrooms14) new front and back door15) turn upstairs into a master suite... knock out a few walls and alter 2 bedrooms upstairs to a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an attached master bathroom16) landscape and curb appeal17) stairs are kind of steep leading upstairs... don't know if could be changed?

(Just be sure to inspect periodically to ensure the connection at the fill valve is not dripping and destroying your subflooring) A washer/dryer combo OTOH, will require either gas or some heavy electrical service routed to the installation point.

And, as for the washer plug, I just ran a ground wire from the plug to the galvanized water pipe.

I need to replace the catridge and or washer for the shower faucet.
