The first option with duct work seems more expensive and intrusive to occupied units.Unfortunately there is no natural gas available nearby to tap into, which is of course my favorite way to heat.Any thoughts or advice in this area would be appreciated.Also curious to know if anyone is familiar with federal or state (we are in MD) tax breaks or incentives for improving efficiency of a building, or converting from oil heat. 

We bought them a new dryer ($75) and fixed the gutters and downspouts ($62) and removed all the intrusive ivy from the side of the house (free, but grueling.

Unfortunately, there was  water intrusion on one side of the duplex, and I'm looking for a GC/contractor that handles the external of the house. 

So you don't have to worry about insulting the seller with a low offer or intrusive questions. 

As in;If the property is occupied, are there is secrets to getting them to let you inside without being intrusive?

The neighbor laughed at me and said Then I just won't paint my house or I'll go hire some kids to paint it.I told her that hiring the kids would make them your employees based on her getting the materials, directing them what to do and all that.I think it's too complicated and the laws are too intrusive here

- Drain pool, cover pool- Run HVAC for 10 minutes, AC/Heat- Leave refrigerator slightly open- Run all water fixtures and flush toilets a few times- Drain and turn off water heater - Have gardener specifically look for rodents intrusion Any and all ideas on additional long-term storage welcome.

The house is a little remote and so going to the front door, or even their neighbors, somehow seems a little more intrusive.  

So if they show up not realizing the owner lives on-site, and get a lot of intrusive-seeming questions, they may be turned off.
