Give that is a townhouse, the association will take care of all exterior related issue so it is a safe distance investment in my personal opinion.

Two - (this is the escrow part) the HOA is in charge of regular maintenance of the exterior and "routine" painting of the exterior as it even says in their own rule book.

It was used where durability was needed, usually trim and exteriors like the cornice.

For new construction or a MAJOR rehab, where either the exterior is basically complete or we have drawings with exterior elevations, we may list it on the MLS.

The sink is on an exterior wall, so most likely, a section of the pipe froze.

You don't have to worry about exterior maintenance, mowing, exterior insurance, roofs, and possibly utilities.

New roof Architectural style rip and replace $4/sqft , gutters 1500 sqft $750,siding and sheer 1500sqft $10,000,exterior paint single family 1,500 sq ft $3,000,kitchen repair single family nice $5,500-$7,500,windows vinyl clad $250 each,full bath repair $2,500- $3,500,replace one hot air furnace or boiler $2,000 - $2,500 depending on size,carpeting $500 per average size bedroom.

So, long winded way of saying, you may be just fine to occupy YOUR OWN SPACE any way you wish since I am assuming that as it was once a separate unit it has at the very least an exterior entrance.

Estimated rehab: $30k (remove carpet and refinish/ repair hardwood, paint exterior and interior, redo kitchen and bathrooms.

Is there any common area with lights (Hallways, basement, exterior)?
