Hi, we own a home with a two bedroom one bath apartment down stairs with a separate entrance and it’s own large outdoor yard.  

The house is roughly 4000 ft.² it has an updated outdoor kitchen patio deck and a stone fence wall in the front.

What matters is how the indoors compares to the outdoors in the amount and type of spores detected.

Hey all, I recently put out a feeler email to my landlord (I rent in NYC) asking if she'd entertain selling the apartment to me, and to my surprise, she said she was "definitely" interested.

Mandatory Ground Up experience is required for a lender to even entertain a project. 

If it were mine, I would do all of the following before shelling out money for a secondary system.Check ther attic insulation.Consider installing UV heat repelant tint (it has a service life) on all sun side windows.Have a thermo scan done of the exterior and interior to see where heat problems occur.Have the AC system check by a tech for proper amount of coolant, and to see if its too big or too small.Vent the cooking hood outdoors (if it's legal to do so).Install ceiling fans in the hallway upstairs and in the bedrooms.Have tech make sure the draw air system is sized (and positioned) correctly for each floor.Make sure the thermostat is not a (NASA Project of complication designed to micro manage the temp), and that it is working correctly.Some Techs are much better than others....Good Luck!

The folks putting it together invited me to speak on their panel so I am sure it will be entertaining, lol. 

This post has offered lots of info and entertainment (I'm sure!

If the market slows down or even takes a nosedive, it's important to remember that millennial housing trends will continue to lean heavily towards renting over ownership with very high demand for proximity to entertainment (getting to OTR, walkability, etc.) and your red box offers that proximity.I'm almost done with a major rehab of a duplex close to there, I'd be happy to connect and discuss!
