That's easy compared to trying to fight and erroneous $13k water bill (a real issue we had) or an insurance policy tripling (that too).

Utilities are OFTEN overlooked so reach out to power, telecom, gas (or go all electric), water, and sewer to make sure you understand what it would take to get separately metered services from the primary house.

The interior will need to be repaired and repainted.I've done several 1900 - 1920's and while they usually have good bones, the electrical can be underpowered for today's needs, and the water lines can be corroded galvanized or even lead.

They are my favorite, because they are cheap and snap together higher, which better protects from splashing water.

Agreeable grey with apartment tan carpet (or pet resistant tan carpet).

The Only other deductions that I have right now are $154 for unpaid water bill, and $45 for the minor repairs mentioned (doorbell, blinds, shower).Questions for the group:Does $540 seem excessive for a cleaning charge, given the situation?

I have just started looking at properties and the first SFH we toured had just had the furnace and water heater stolen! 

Think hiking, mountain biking, white water rafting and a community overall focused on all natural things and sustainability.

Water heaters, furnaces, flooring, etc etc, all these things have known life expectancies.

For example, the iconic Malibu waterfront homes were built directly over the water, many by variance, and assumedly will not be permitted to reconstruct, certainly not with the same materials or attached architecture.
