Rob K. your standard stove can get a propane orifice installed but she could be grilling.The only problem I think the city should have is waste disposal.

More important than say; a garbage disposal.

I guess what I am saying is that these members have already proven themselves successful to some degree by virtue of the fact that they have $25K at their disposal.

When I remodel a kitchen, I always install a dishwasher (if there's room) because it's about the same price as a cabinet and is nice feature for rent or sale.I've written in another thread about stuff I eliminate, like garbage disposals, ceiling fans, and other stuff that breaks down.

Specialty tools and material needed to remove and install an new HVAC system:Refrigerant recovery machine - $750Refrigerant recovery tank - $100Cost to dispose of recovered refrigerant - up to $10,000 fine if not done properly - You will have to find a refrigerant reclaiming facility to work with you if you are not certifiedVacuum pump - $35025 lb tank R-410A refrigerant ( if you can find someone to sell it to you without proper cert ) $250Micron gauge - $150Refrigeration gauges ( cheap set ) - $100Nitrogen tank and regulator - $350These things alone put you over $2000 additional and that's assuming you already have the other necessities such as a torch, brazing supplies and piping tools.Keep in mind that if you don't know how to properly install a refrigeration piping system the result will be shortened equipment life.

Generally we are talking about a 3 to 6 to 10% commission, and that is very applicable as to the fair pricing of the same service.Now, let's not forget the bottle of water in the desert. a property that is distressed that is not marketable may cost more to dispose of by a Realtor, they will have more advertising, fewer market alternatives and it may require more work.

Thermostats, towel bars and other bath accessories, doorbells, mailboxes, house numbers, pull chains, closet shelving, garbage disposals, light bulbs, final cleaning, and all of the other little details can all start to add up on you if you don't plan for them. 

Length of ownership and how you plan on disposing off the assets if that is in the plans. 

And I also include in my spreadsheet checklist assets disposed of and no longer in use.

Spillage into Baltimore will eventually raise housing prices, but what concerns me are: (1) the amazing quantity of empty houses (16,000+)(2) the slow rate of disposing of the empty houses (how many abandoned homes have been rehabbed or torn down in the past 5 years?)
