That should cover the cost of the new boiler, circulator, expansion tank, pressure reducing valve, necessary piping and labor for a complete install.

While I think this may make them feel even more pressured to pass this, I think cooler heads will prevail.I may be a bit too optimistic on this, but honestly, only time will tell. 

or any of such manipulating pressure inducing techniques?

I'm open to other opinions and I definitely see the value and appeal of a fully paid off home, but it seems riskier than leveraging widely over different geographic areas.Best,Jonny Your second point regarding bank pressure incentivizing the insurance company is something I've not considered before. 

I'm not handy myself but I'm curious/concerned if that would be like the old cartoon, where you plug one hole with your thumb, and another opens up, you plug that with a toe, and another opens up...in other words, there's so much pressure because the water can't go anywhere, it just spreads to other areas and creates more holes, or the pressure builds up and "explodes" somewhere.

Plus, if you are doing flips a 1031 exchange is more challenging to do because the time pressure sometimes forces you to make a bad decision on buying the next property.

Pressure is on me now!

I'm not sure if you're working with an agent yet, or have access to the homes on the MLS but id love to give you a hand in finding the property you're looking for (no pressure of course) If you have a minute shoot me a text or call  646-251-7743

That’s definitely putting some upward pressure on prices in our area, especially for homes purchased from retiring or aging homeowners that have been updated like ours.

Your ADJUSTED basis is exactly that- the currenta mount adjusted for depreciaton.
