Aly NAHaha yeah that's what I used to say until I got a call at 1 AM telling me a tenant in Iowa busted the water pipe and it flooded there basement.

Also - legally, in NYS you cannot bill for water on multiple apartments if there is only one water meter.

The house was winterized back in Nov 2013, so the water was turned off and the water meter was removed to ensure the pipes wouldn't freeze (here in Michigan).

All my master utilities, including all water for all units (plus laundry) are just over that, so it goes a long way in offsetting master utility costs.

But still $100K in damage.

A little trick to ease the removal of wallpaper is to use a warm water mixed with fabric softer, sponge the wallpaper (saturate) and it should help release the paper.

I am contemplating making an offer on a 1995 double-wide mobile home through one of these auction sites but saw two problems that concern me: 1) the back door won't open - it seems to be pretty firmly jammed shut; and 2) there is evidence of damage on the ceiling of the same side of the home, near a fireplace.

I have a restoration background so the mold and fire damage are what I find most appealing.

We do this for flips, rehabs and buy & holds.Just rented an apt. with gas heat, gas hot water heater, gas range, & gas dryer, you can be assured that I promoted the gas feature of this apt and is only a $595 apt.On a rehab that is to become a rental for us, the kitchen had both a gas line and a 220 electric range outlet already there.

Water is through HOA so it's not an issue.
