Has the snow melted up there yet?

You are thinking this is a problem with a leak with freshwater but this time of year basements often flood because of spring rains/snow melting etc....so could be coming in the from walls, up from the drain tile, not likely to be coming from the sewer if it isn't sewer water but that can't be ruled out either. 

We had a guest who thought the fridge was failing as everything was melting.

Not too much snow on the sea coast, some but if melts pretty quickly.

Personally, at first glance, I would not take on this project because the exterior, alone, looks like a nightmare of work and cash output and I can't see the condition of the eves, other wood trim, roof nor whether there is a basement that has moisture or water from the melting snow and maybe the basement alone needs serious work and cash to make the house is a condition where someone will purchase it from you.

We try to ensure the salt is applied enough to keep down dangerous/slippery ice and to keep the snow melted, but we don't want to go overkill having a "zero tolerance" ice policy like hospitals have, we just want to keep snow and ice down to an acceptable and safe level, without going over-budget.For some of our buildings where salt seems to be really deteriorating surfaces (mainly building sidewalks and masonry stairs) we thought about using a different product (either calcium chloride or magnesium chloride) however while they are less damaging than pure salt, they are also more expensive (something we are trying to avoid).What do you other landlords do that have midsize (10+ unit) buildings? 

Kitchen was a melted ice cream mess. 

Hey Guys,
So, I'm considering wholesaling this house. The seller seems quite motivated to sell the property, and he doesn't want to put any money into it. I'm wondering, on this building (supposedly 1800 sqft, thre...

If you can meet the emotional need being manifested, you will likely find the actual complaint melts away.I would recommend that you talk to her and let her spill every drop of her negative emotion.
