The family purchased a lakefront property in a nice area three years ago but then ran into a series of issues, and have abandoned the place because of them.They are hoping the bank allows a short sale (asking for roughly $20,000 under what is owed)Here's what's made them so unhappy:Anytime they used the laundry it was dumping into a dry well, which would back up into the house forcing them to take their laundry to a laundromat instead!!

I certainly can see how this all happened though Guru's charging folks how to be a synidcator so lots of beginners.. then of course competing offerings and knowing how investor gravitate to the highest returns without really understanding the risks etc.

Away from the coast, no hurricanes, fires, floods - we don't even have snowstorms anymore.People can deny climate change all they want or blame it on sun cycles, and frankly, it does not even matter, the reality is that insurance cost will force the issue.You can try to rebuild and you can put houses on stilts in flood areas, or fortify them against high winds and fires, but that makes it expensive.

Option 2: Electrician recommended mini splits - said 2 units should do the trick and would cost around $6-$7k.Heating system 2 is forced hot air oil furnace specifically for the 3rd unit.

If you want to be a hard nose landlord you can try to force them to use your system, but I’ve read somewhere that at least certain states are making it where you have to accept at least checks.
