I'm not an expert on lender liability; but, would hazard a guess that the bank will not take any action that could be construed as detrimental to the mortgagor without foreclosing first.As to the tenants, I'm sorry to hear that no one has explained what's going on to them.

It would also give me a "safety net" in case my real estate ventures fail.

Even if it is up to code and you're concerned about safety or liability, just replace it.

There was some pretty heavy industry there, and they have even found hazardous residue in the soil in Lacey.

These include, but are not necessarily limited to Origination Fees, Bank Fees, Attorney Fees, Title Insurance, Recording Fees, Hazard Insurance, Property Taxes, Transfer Taxes, Commissions, Home Warranties and Utilities.

If you acquired all cash you would earn a higher return but if it's not possible to go in with no debt then the deal deserves extra scrutiny because your margin of safety would be thinner.

Maybe wrapping some insulation around the pump/lines (check with the installer for safety) might help.

These are a safety hazard for tenants, but work good while vacant.Another thing you can do is find a neighbor that's retired.

If you can't pull your own permit, there is usually a good reason (read "some danger").This is your investment, and other peoples safety.

Also, make sure your tenants are not blocking the heat registers and cold air returns, or it will likely trip the safety and you will be getting the 2 a.m. call.We made sure our leases address the tenant responsibility in this regard after purchasing a new property and learning the hard way.
