I purchased a single family house in Salt Lake City with a mother-in-law apartment in the basement.

I don't own anything this big so you may take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

Many parts of Queens are still appreciating so there could be some upside to hanging on, but interest rate hikes and the limit on SALT deductions will have a negative impact on housing prices (it's already started to in Manhattan).

Just one more tip when buying aerators make sure they are always bubble aerators, at 1.5gpm they usually will be but at 1 gpm they can be spray which most don't like. 

I would get the hose out and spray the door down and see where the water is coming in from. 

Although we are native Texans, we currently live in the Salt Lake City area and love it. 

Not only the equation, but programming that equation into the system so it adjusts the starting temperature according to the current gas and electric rates.)Before doing any of that, I'd make sure the low-hanging fruit has already been picked- LED lighting, water-efficient fixtures(sinks, toilets, shower heads,) possibly spray-foam insulation to reduce drafts, to name a few.MG

Hi all, just starting out and looking to buy a duplex in the Cottonwood Heights area near Salt Lake City.

Of course I'd still take that with a grain of salt.

So take this with a grain of salt.
