If you have a REALTOR you used to purchase-ask them for a handyman that would do repairs for you that is honest & good, and contract your own repairs out-also BY LAW-AND THE CONTRACT-they can only do repairs above the limitation if it is an emergency, such as to damage the property or if it is a necessity to the tenants-ie; water/plumbing, a/c & heating, things like that-Maintenance is not a neccesity-I would threaten to do a dateline investigation on them-I think all PM's deserve it-and that might work too!

Nice brick 3/1 house, central heat and air, walk to the park.

I'm looking at a house that has hot water baseboard heat and am trying to decide what to do with it.

As far as I can tell, the hot water tank has filled and the heating mechanism (gas burner) is working (it makes the normal sounds and occasionally I feel the outgoing pipe is warm).Everything I've found says to run the hot water until the air stops and I get a continuous flow of water, but I never reach that point.

After gaining great education I moved to Jersey City and I rented a decent apartment in a house on top floor in affluent heights area of JC.My landlord told me and is part of lease agreement that heat and hotwater included, now after staying here for 4 months we had heating started in the month of October and my utility bill jumped from average 40 dollars to 250 dollars a month.

That's expensive and depends so much on what you want.Of the houses we did last year, the remodeling costs ran from $28,000 to $60,000 and all involved new roofs, some new Heating and Air, new kitchens etc.

I had inspected this place and it seemed to be in decent condition except that the Heating/AC unit was completely dead.

I ran across this site for heating and ac replacements.

Also, this contract places the payment of termite and heating and air letters at the buyer's feet even though it's always been written that the seller will pay (buyer's selects company) in our state.

If this happens coupled with a lack of moisture elsewhere - say 100 degree heat in Dallas in August - then the foundation will bulge and buckle.If the moisture is consistent across the foundation, the home will sink or raise, sometimes several inches.
