Landlord pays heat, tenants pay electric.

Then my buyer's appraisal for the bank blew up when she couldn't find permits for conversions made several years ago by previous owner- they had converted the garage into a master converting a 1600 sqft home into 2200 heated.

Lots of bedrooms for any size family, and renters often can't tolerate paying the heating bill for an over-sized house.Sometimes these can be made into rooming houses, if zoning permits (but that is a more hands-on business to be in than whole unit rentals).

Mold, no heat or water would qualfy as not fit for human habitation.

The credit is $2,000 for a dwelling unit that is certified to have an annual level of heating and cooling energy consumption at least 50% below the annual level of heating and cooling energy consumption of a comparable dwelling unit and has building envelope component improvements that account for at least 1/5 of the 50% reduction in energy consumption.

Deals are getting rare for MLS, and sadly feel market heating up.

A bird dog I know was also getting some heat from a wholesaler for sending him the addresses of each house with unmowed grass - as thats not a sufficient lead.After selecting a property, I look to see if it has sufficient equity and then mail to the owner of record, whether it owner-occ or abssentee owned.
