Hey Allen, What lender is pushing an ARM?

He wants to retire, but he can't really sell the portfolio, does not have that much equity and he is holding it together with both arms, so he can't step back.

If they have stood the test of time for 100 years, likelihood they will stand the test of the time for the next 100 years.Deduct extra as a margin of safety for CAPEX from the bottom line but also keep in mind that repairs are much lower in Ohio compared to other states.

They're only required to repay you for health, safety, preservation of the property....fixing broken windows, roof leaks, locks, etc.#3. 

So rather than having truly "independent" or "arm's length" recommendations, we get the appearance of recommendations from some sort of affiliation.

Manager said when they replace unit they replace flue because shape on new ones is different and/or Dept of Bldg and Safety require it.  

Maybe let her know it's a fire hazard or safety concern or that if you get inspection from the fire department you could be looking at a huge fine. 

Many things go wrong in construction, some of which are unavoidable, how the contractor handles those issues is paramount and speaks volumes to their abilities (or lack there of in the cases above).There are no short cuts to construction or dealing with the building and safety/planning departments in cities, they are slower than turtles in almost all cases.

Here are some specific questions I have, but any additional information is welcome:Safety and Community Feel: How do locals view the safety and overall community vibe in Pine Hills?

If it’s a safety issue, I’ll of course make sure the premises are as safe as they were before any required maintenance was done, but she is now suggesting that if I don’t reimburse her for those specific anchors, I am violating fair housing laws for familial status and/or tenants rights regarding not incurring costs for required repairs.
