The big foreclosure bubble of 2007 simply doesn't exist in 2015, their are no shaky mortgages even at high valuations to fuel it.What I do see as a possible hiccup is on the commercial side.

Punch is a long pole because it is detail work, and it is also what sells. 

The entire home has one fuel burning furnace in the basement.  

One high up on a wood power/ cable pole, and one on a downspout, both of which would be very difficult to remove with someone making a bunch of noise & a scene with an extension ladder.  

I think the pro-growth NW will continue to see growth/investment fueled by Californians like yourself.

As has been posted ... if mineral rights are not reserved at some point in the transfer of title then they run with the land and the transfer.Now when I did my deal out at Homestake they were running around putting big metal poles in the ground and claiming unpatented mineral rights.. at that point it got pretty complex and I sold the property and never really followed up..

We would use the other $500K to BRRRR 4-6 properties in our target market for long term cash flow and fuel our BRRRR cycle of investing!

They are not choosing an alternate fuel because it’s an advantage, natural gas infrastructure has not become available yet.

nice marine style pedestals or simple breaker boxes on wood poles?  

., a 1000 sq ft unit would need a 35,000 btu furnace at minumum. then you have to consider the distance from the furnace to the unit is services. if the building is a 3 story with a couple of apartments on the top floor, then those units should have at least 10,000 more btu than the calculation calls for. if each unit has the furnace within the apartment, then the calculation is what you go by. most systems are pretty much the same, but, just like a car, there are some brands that simply cost more to repair based on parts and such. trane seems to be among the most expensive. i recommend goodman. easy to install, easy to work on and parts are reasonable. no one can calculate the timing of repairs on any unit. i have seen 3 year old furnaces need work and i have seen some go for several years without an issue. too many variables to figure that out. if you are talking about having one unit for the entire building, same formula applies to the sq footage, however, i would not recommend this because inevibly, some apartments will not get as much heat as others, and with one furnace, you cannot control the heat going to each apartment. a boiler system could do that but if you don't already have one, it is going to be massively expensive to have one put in. in an inspection, look for the age of the furnace, this can be found in the model number in most furnaces. usually the 1st and second digits are the month it was build, and the 3rd and 4th is the year. however, this is not on all furnaces. basically, get the model number and look it up on line. anything over 15 years old is probably on its last leg and about as fuel efficient as a campfire. also, look for how clean the furnace is. if it is dirty, chances are it hasn't been service often enough. i would have it cleaned out at least once every 3 years at a minimum. change the filter at least once a month, especially in the winter months. a clogged filter not only can lead to premature damage to the heat exchanger, but will also effect the output and efficiency of the unit and could possibly poison your tenants with co2 gas. i hope this helps you, please let me know if you need any further assistance
