then insert temp response. 

No, I'm not slummy, and yes, we are in the process of looking into a new boiler, but sometimes the heat is a little slow to rise to temp. 

Since PR is assumably mortgaged, binding you to that property, and a rental is leased/temp, what is the policy if the PR remains PR without ever claiming another, even in another county? 

I think much of what goes on in these temporary housing situations is just do what you can get away with.I see all sorts of Australian and British marketing companies hawking what amounts to hotel rooms in North Dakota to unsuspecting investors and telling them they are buying a room , Like it was a condo or something.. totally out there and who knows were it will end.End of the day its temp housing unless you plan on keeping these long term

Wouldn't it be innovative to be able to offer a tenant a temp or part time job instead?

Remember that heat pumps need a back up fuel when they are unable to extract adequate heat when outside temps drop too far.  

@Carole G. and @John Tan, I'll be looking at a few properties in Tempe, Phoenix and Mesa, Arizona in two weeks.

Kirsten's office is in Tempe.

We have 4 nice seasons of equal duration -- we get a few light snowfalls in the winter, springtime is mild, temps are moderate in the summer due to the elevation, and the fall season is especially enchanting.  

In addition to the MLS on-market, I look at expired and "temp off market" listings, as well as local FSBO's- Zillow is a decent source for the FSBO's.
