Although the Ohio Building Code states the basement bedroom is a bedroom, the appraiser did not count the basement as general living area (GLA) and did not provide much value, if any, for the additional nicely refinished space.Does anyone have a recommendation how to overcome this barrier?

I would appreciate that, would be nice to be able to ask a few questions. 

Maybe if you really like these guys and their work...and feel that they honestly got in over their heads, you could throw them an extra $500 just to appear 'nice'.

This time, she agreed, and the sale finally went through.This experience reminded me how seemingly minor items can hold enormous sentimental weight.

(this covers a lot of ground and serves as a nice framework)

Both are super nice people easy to talk too I’m just not sure if they have minimum size  def worth a call!  

I made above market rate rent over 2 years and I vaguely can deduct how much they grossed and they were probably negative cashflow a little as the business became less lucrative but with all the nice furniture they invested, it should be either breakeven or lost money.

We just acquired a duplex that (at closing) was supposed to need about $4K in mold remediation.

Yeah the idea of having someone else do the calling for me is nice.

If the potential gap will be a nice even 1-3 month time frame we might go for it.
