I have one fridge in storage as a tenant brought their own, so that is a mixed bag.Refrigerators and stoves are reasonably failure-proof appliances if you stay away from ice makers, water in door options, and other things that add complexity.

However, an argument can be made that you’re making provisions to discourage someone from jumping ship and still getting an undeserved income so from that standpoint, you might be discouraging a break up.As investors there could be potential targets on some love struck individual that has higher net worth from a gold digging opportunist partner.What are your thoughts? 

And then Hurricane Laura struck...Real estate market in this region is very depressed as of December 2025. 

This house had 12” of water/ice in the basement... there’s a nice sump pump set up just sitting there with no power...

After your response to my post about him and your message to me, I started digging more.One thing struck me.  

A huge number of properties we have looked at would have issues on this front.It can lead to an opportunity to improve the value of a property if you can buy it with an illegal area, get that area legalised and then sell on with a higher value that the bank would lend against, but it's not clear cut and it seems though that there are almost two levels of 'legalisation' - we were able to register all of the annex on the plans and could fully incorporate a portion of it but there is another portion that is too close to the back boundary wall that should only be used for things like storage and not ever for habitation. 2) During the purchase process be careful, amongst other issues with this property we had the situation where the seller's lawyer was not actually a lawyer (having been struck off).

The city is known for its vibrant downtown area, which boasts a variety of restaurants, bars, breweries, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, and more—all within a lively, welcoming atmosphere.

I want ice cream!"

I am curious at what stage of land development the sale was struck with builder.  

I hate to be the person whom delivers bad news, But out in New York a landlords lawsuit got dismissed/struck down by a New York Judge stating the Eviction  moratorium is legal.
