I am an attorney, so I am always keeping risk in mind, hence the following question: I am getting ready to contact a motivated seller in another county and would like to have some numbers beforehand.

However, in addition to the new tax, the new rules are very restrictive on those that were following the model of renting out multiple bedrooms in their homes as the number of rentals on a property is now capped based on zoning. 

The contractor comes back out and says they didn't add enough freon and adds more and says it will be freezing by the following day.Of course, that wasn't the solution either and now the tenant is furious and is a bit irate, he feels that we should reimburse him for $180 for food that he wasted.

Otherwise typing @followed by their name will tag them if they're your colleague. 

Historically, interests rates and housing prices follow an inverse pattern.

@Dave Passey Thanks for the follow up.

I've been following the house prices in Essex County, Union County, and Middlesex County.

It's good to see vacation rentals aren't being pushed away as some states are getting very strict about the whole airbnb population.
