It was November and since the house was not rented, it will stay empty till March anyway.The lease was done under the corporations name so they could justify the corporate business expense.The house was empty with no furniture so it was a bunch of construction workers sleeping on the floor with air mattress.

All the general contractors I've worked with tell me that their costs go up with the winter especially on a full rehab where they have to work outside.I can imagine that your carrying costs will also go up since you will have to leave the unit heated to prevent the pipes in the building from freezing.I haven't worked through a flip in the winter yet though so I would be interested to see by how much it would go up.

Much better units mechanically, they move more air, and they last forever so far as I know.My original thought was that they would be easier to repair or replace later - but so far I have no experience in that regard.

After checking to make sure there are no openings between the ceiling and attic, do you think some small, air-driven fans near the attic vents would help prevent condensation from building?

The plumber uses an air compressor to pump air into the water supply lines from the shutoff.

in additon to the above, couple things I get on is: replace the air filter & the range hood filter; empty the gutters.As a matter of fact, whenever I'm at a property for a repair, I make it a habit to always check for these things.

HVAC systems are much simpler (none of my rentals even has air con).

, in order to prevent an overproduction scenario.Do you think I should get info about how easy is it to get construction permits in a certain market?

Kind of like just because the bank deposited $1M in your bank account doesn't mean you can keep it if it's not yours.I would slow down on the lawsuit idea though, he will likely send it to you if you just ask or the DSS office may even be able to cancel the payment or pull it back somehow.Now if that doesn't work then talk to a lawyer, and you may even get the DSS office to assist you legally since they probably have a system in place to prevent claiming of unentitled benefit.

Perform preventive maintenance, repair as needed.
