looking for thoughts on the following:i have an opportunity to get premium phone/cable service (i.e. all the bells and whistles) for a multi-family rental unit at a promotional rate. it seems that if i split the cost of the normal rate (rate that will be charged after a year) among the units of the property each unit would be paying a low cost for premium cable/phone that i am pretty sure tenants would otherwise not even consider purchasing (because of the outrageous costs). this would be a way to make a few extra bucks a month, and i would offer it as an option rather than build it into the lease (as rent including cable/phone service).

Insurance companies are now raising their rates due to the healthcare bill, when barry said it would lower costs. not to mention the large portion of money we spent on top of the increased premiums.

The mortises for the hinges can be done with a sharp wood chisel and a hammer, and for the door knob, you will need a hole saw for the drill, and a spade drill bit.

I've read a lot of the pro vs. con arguments on the site and I completely understand that the purchase price might be above what I could get in the open market, but in this case I'm taking a long-term, multi-year view and I'm willing to pay a slight premium for the convenience.I'm not looking to bash any specific members and I've actually already talked to a few BP members (or their firms) who deal with turn-keys.

Hi Everyone, I am in the process of changing a wood burning fireplace into a gas fireplace in one of my rentals.

I have seen this done only twice on a residence being designed and approved by an engineer, I'd suggest paying the premiums would be cheaper.

Is there a large difference in premium for increasing liability coverage vs starting another (smaller) policy?

Creditability is a premium.

The most common locations on the older ones are exterior wood & metal, interior wood, and kitchen & bathroom walls & ceilings.
