But, I think I might opt to put in a pantry at the end of the partition, and then maybe just have a cut-out so the fire could be seen from both sides, but you could still get some pantry storage in that same wall and maybe some storage above, if possible. 

Let the applications flow in, and mark a cut-off of when I will no longer accept applications (so that no one pays for the application and applies unnecessarily).3.)

If you guess how many btus you need chances are you'll either be way under or way over what you acutally need to heat the unit. 

He's not going to do it at a cut rate and if plumbers by their nature are keenly aware of public health issues.Have you ever installed a dishwasher?

@Barry SugarmanI personally would not go that low unless you need it.You will always have those dilemmas in this business, there should be a cut off point.You can always rent a 3/2 house around Towson for around 1400 anyway ( assuming good condition)They are not the only good tenants available, and you will have the property management fees once they leave anyway, so sooner or later you will pay them, only thing you are doing is delaying while loosing $200-$300 a month.I would just negotiate and see what they can afford and also start advertising.

If you don't mind them doing it at least make them give you a cut.

It's not just about having a cute luxury property, but ensuring it's ready to meet these clients' needs ..  

For context, John is also looking for investors to invest on individual properties, in which the investor would receive interest, and a cut of the sale profits.

There's an extremely broad based economy, with high wage earners (that can acutally afford the higher rents) .

If you are doing twice the work, it's fair that you would get 2/3 of the profit (which might also satisfy your husband's concern), but that's something to negotiate.One last note - if this was left to you and your brothers, your husband would not get a cut of the profits.
