That way, I'm not paying for the tenants heat/electric/sewer/water, etc.

Taxes, insurance, debt servicevacancy rate, repairs, mantaince, utility bills ( a vacant unit in Indiananeeds heated in the winter to prevent damage).

The only problem is that both apartments need electric baseboard heat which could cost several thousand dollars.

For additional information and requirements, refer to 24 CFR Part 39. (3) Replacement Systems. a) Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system supply and return pipes and ducts must be insulated whenever they run through unconditioned spaces. b) Heating systems, burners, and air conditioning systems must be carefully sized to be no greater than 15 percent oversized for the critical design, heating or cooling, except to satisfy the manufacturer's next closest nominal size.

Most notably the fact that between October and now, the heat and hot water (which are tied together) have gone out at least a dozen times (i think its more but have lost track...).Now in our lease it specifically states the following:Originally posted by "Lease":We Promise, except if we are prevented by conditions beyond our control to:A.

Took off the space right off the kitchen that is heated and cooled with laundry equipment but appraisal came in good.

We left a few areas of sublfloor and sealed with KILZ or something like it, bombed the house, painted every surface and put new flooring - we should have torn out all the subfloors, sprayed the attic and replaced all the heating registers.Cats also pee on things like the boiler, oil tank, hot water heater - all your mechanicals in the basement.

I have seen the house a few times and have recently had two contractors give me estimates on finishing the house (heating, plumbing, paint, carpet, cabinets, fixtures, etc, etc).

I would say the most expensive part of rehab for me is roofing and heating.

I look for pictures (my San Antonio inspector actually runs a fiber optic camera down the vents to look for breaks that may cause trouble by dumping heat or moisture between walls or in other places that I don’t want) and descriptions.
