It's coming out of the front of the HVAC at about eye level, goes straight for about two feet, does a 90 degree turn (all still at eye level), goes another two feet, does another 90 degree turn and then sort of gradually works its way across the next four feet until it disappears up where the ceiling meets the far wall.  

Look at it this way – if $825 is their price ceiling, they may/will be renters for a long time and will probably be long term in your property.

PLEASE NOTE: For purposes of determining the VA guaranty, lenders are instructed to reference only the One-Unit Limit column in the FHFA Table “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Maximum Loan Limits for Mortgages Acquired in Calendar year 2015 and Originated after 10/1/2011 or before 7/1/2007”.Here is a link to the VA site where they have the loan limits;http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/purchaseco_lo...For 2015....FHA Basic standard mortgage limits are:Single - $271,050Duplex - $347,000Triplex - $419,425Fourplex - $521,250Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac standard mortgage limits are:Single - $417,000Duplex - $533,850Triplex - $645,300Fourplex - $801,950FHA Basic High Cost area limits are:Single - $625,500Duplex - $800,775Triplex - $967,950Fourplex - $1,202,925Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac High Cost are limits are the same as FHA for 2015:National Housing Act provides mortgage limits for Hawaii up to 150% of the new ceilings for 2015:FHA and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac both are:Single - $938,520Duplex - $1,201,150Triplex - $1,451,925Fourplex - $1,804,375

Mine is nicer, but I am worried about a price ceiling for the area.

The condition of the house is pretty bad, ceilings are really low (i am 5'10), floor seems uneven,  entire house needs new flooring, new bathroom, kitchen, patio deck is warped.

All her concerns amounted to were loose towel bars, light bulbs, blinds, ceiling paint touch up etc which I immediately said my handyman would come fix it.

(Assuming that they put rigid insulation boards down under the rubber roof, as opposed to taking down the ceiling of all of the upstairs apartments, installing R20 insulation between the ceiling joists, and then reinstalling drywall, texture and paint.

To fall under the safe harbor now, your unadjusted basis will be $84,000 ($80k + $4k of 2015 improvements) meaning your expense ceiling for repairs and improvements will be $1,680 (2% x $84,000).

My husband spent a ton of time to decide whether he should buy a white ceiling fan or a black ceiling fan... and among the white ones, which to get.
