If there is an internal problem like a gas valve, rusted heat riser, bad circulator pump or (gasp) a cracked boiler, you better buckle up.When we have a situation where an owner we represent has to put in major money in repairs or must replace a regular gas boiler, we always examine the possibility of installing electric baseboard heating. 

A word to fellow investors from both coasts- too many liars and blood suckers waiting for opportunity to rip you off.

Blood and money/business don't mix well.  

Buying when there is blood in the street.And extreme markets favor cash buyers.

We have a lot of newbies and there are a lot of deals circulating our area with incorrect valuations or spreads that don’t work so we’ve been marketing direct for sellers. 

It's a bloodbath out there and the blood is ours my friend.

Female C is a blood cousin only to Female A and not related to Female B at all.  

That’s too risky for my blood.

If there's a child who lives in the unit who has an elevated blood level, even if it came from outside the unit, and you don't have the certificates, you're going to be target #1 and you won't be covered by insurance without the certificates.So just on that issue alone, yes, even if you have to put it on credit cards, I would get those new windows in, on all the units you're renting out.

Once real estate is in your blood  - it stays forever!
