The home is fine, but I've found some water damage in the garage wall (where an ice dam backed up) and would like to replace the drywall and ensure there is no mold present.

Having said that, I knew I am not effectively deploying my available resources so far by keeping debt free and leaving all my home equity 100% idle. 

What does your contract say about damages if the contract doesn't close? 

Greetings BP'ers,Can you name some of the most cost effective strategies you employ to ensure forced appreciation on your properties?

Question is , if i cant get a hold of him, how do i start cleaning up water damage, and can i assume he is not coming back to claim his possessions?

I thought if that too, but unfortunately it’s cumulative so even if they were separate and did at different times they look at the effected square footage on the entire property so I can’t get away with that.

I'm sure there are holes in some of them, but the goal is not to have a  bulletproof means but just a means that is effective in easing the prospective tenants concern.Show tax assessors website showing who the owner of the property is and then provide ID.

Just hope they do not take your appliances or damage the property!

If they stated it worked, you should have requested/required proof of the working and non damaged door prior to closing (can be inspected any time before you closed).

You'd need to set the thermostat for the central heat in a common area so that the baseboard heat doesn't effect it, but otherwise I don't see why you couldn't use the baseboard heat to bring each unit up a few degrees to the tenant's liking.
