@Svend WhiteOK, so what you're planning on doing here is abandoning your family in your home while you head off to this place to live in a basement and supposedly sponge bathe and eat out of a nonexistent kitchen, but with maybe a dorm fridge, a little electric burner, maybe a microwave, maybe a toaster oven, effecting a separation with your wife and child, all so that you can legally say that you're living in this place for a year and qualify for a low down payment.All these mortgage records are public and permanent, and the IRS can get their hands on them with great ease during any sort of mortgage fraud investigation.If I were an IRS agent investigating you 10 years down the line (federal statute of limitation for mortgage fraud) and I saw this paper trail, I would only think one thing -- this dude was just getting his mail at the property.

Simply telling my people to 'push the burner towards the center of the stovetop' or 'go to your panel and flip the breaker' has saved me thousands over the years.    

Sure, you could put some things on the back burners (say, adding central air vs window units or updating wood windows to vinyl or replacing butcher block countertops with granite or at least formica or holding off on refinishing semi-OK hardwoods, etc.).

Assuming we are talking about one of the metal, covered fire pits that keeps the big embers inside or is this an uncovered hole in the ground, aka a house burner? 

These guys have many units they manage > 60 so im feeling our deal has been placed in the back burner.

  $50 for for having a barbecue grill on the deck, $25 penalty for melting something onto a stove  burner in addition to the cost of cleaning or replacing it, $50 penalty for staining the carpet even after paying for the professional carpet cleaner to remove it, etc. 

some people are interested in the tanks for scrap value, re-use as old or kero tanks, and even 1 guy wanted to make a burner to cook meat.I love the smell of petro in the morning!

The top burners work but the oven doesn't. 

I was going to try to put something together pre-COVID, and it's been on the back burner for now.What market are you attempting to buy in?

At the same time I was building a business and had twins, so real estate was on the back burner.
