Interested in getting some extra income with converting the extra space in the basement into a rentable unit.Basements in a one-family home can be lawfully rented only if the following conditions are met:Compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code for minimum room size.There is a minimum ceiling height of 7 ft.The walls, as high as ground level, must be damp- and water-proofed if HPD determines that subsoil conditions on the lot require it.The basement is occupied by one family and does not include boarders.Every room must have at least one window.The bottom of any yard or other required open space cannot be higher than six inches below the window sill of any required window in the room.

When looking into it, the basement had water damage that didn't worry us since we knew how to remodel that area ourselves.

What is the best overall water metering company you have found when it comes to ease of installation, reliability, and the cost of the equipment and monitoring?

A law degree does not mean you know anything re wraps.If worse comes to worse, you can stop the foreclosure with legal action - it costs some but you will not lose your equity.I would not throw the baby out with the bath water re doing wraps and I do hope all works out for you.Reach out if you need a referral to a good AZ attorney to helpBe careful out there guysAlan Not to be too blunt, but you are handing bullets to a six year old with a gun.

In Oceanside, New non-hosted STRs are prohibited outside of the Coastal Zone as of February 10, 2024.Most HOA's do not allow rentals less than 30 days so that is likely not an option unless you find a couple of places on the water that allow it but usually tough to find below $1M. 

- Do you want an ocean view, or is proximity to the water or to resort amenities like fine dining or shops most important?

When the tide does shift, you'll be cruising on Easy Street while the others are still getting in the water, adjusting their goggles, and warming up their muscles.

Maytag and Whirlpool are good imo.I personally also avoid ice makers and water dispensers.

You could buy the meter, have a plumber install, you connect to computer, charge the exact amount of water usage. 

From what I've seen, the days of the $1,000 and $2,500 deductibles for fire, lightening, water damage (not flood), etc. are becoming harder and harder to find.
