Keep a keen eye on economic indicators, employment rates, and local development plans to gauge the overall health of the market.Maintenance Costs Can Sneak Up On You: It is easy to factor in property taxes, insurance, and regular maintenance, but unexpected repair costs can throw a wrench into your financial plans.

If you are in a heavy sun, high cost of electricity and high rate of usage market, and you buy the panels, and you can resell to the provider rather than maintain your own batteries, you probably will make money especially if you hold long enough.

We both got in trouble for simple battery.

A person on entering into an agreement to build a swimming pool or contained body of water or sell, rent or lease a dwelling with a swimming pool or contained body of water shall give the buyer, lessee or renter a notice explaining safety education and responsibilities of pool ownership as approved by the department of health services.To me, every pool needs a fence!

I lived in neighboring town of Poughkeepsie called Town of Lloyd - Highland, NY 12528 for more than 19 years its a nice and safe neighborhood with good school district, worlds largest walk-way over Hudson river, lots of trails, golf, biking, scenic drives with good hospitals in 5 miles radius namely: Nuvance Health Vassar Brothers Medical Center, MidHudson Regional Hospital, Saint Francis Medical, Health Quest Home Care and others...The latest addition which is getting constructed is The Village in Highland, NY - Assisted living facility.

Eventually my partner and my own health insurance cost rose to over $1400 a month which just wasn’t sustainable so I got a job in a group home on third shift.
