Things like ductwork (for HVAC supplies and returns), and plumbing (water supply and waste pipes as well as vent stack pipes, and then there could also be radiator pipes) - just for a few examples.So, you should determine which of these might be there before poking a big hole in the wall (like they do on the TV flipping shows).

Baseboard heat can be electric (each unit pays their own electricity, I assume), or central boiler radiators (the landlord pays heat - OUCH), or individual separate boilers with radiators (each unit pays their own hopefully).

I know cicero has resident permit parking.. but it seems soooo parked up,Avg price for 2 bedrooms - whats been your experienceunder 800 for no-parking800 - 900 unrenovated (lenolium floors, radiators, old cabinets, etc, etc) and 950 for large renovated? 

So I don't know how the guy bought it under 203K unless the estimates for repairs were ignoring things, because that 35K rehab limit is mandatory.Now it needs a six figure or so rehab, because the radiators all cracked, damaging floors and who knows what else.

Hi,Are radiator keys universal or are there more than one size?

Currently it has oil furnace heated radiators, which by the looks of it is not functional. 3 questions:1 - Any thoughts on whether i should go with the streamlined product (35K max) or the standard?

@Rachel Luoto cell towers potentially have issues with radiation that may scare some people away

If you exhibit an understanding of the vernacular and can talk in extent about real estate and the numbers, you present yourself as someone who know what they are doing, and oftentimes that is just what some people need.I wish you the best of luck and I hope that your enthusiasm will radiate and will rub off on your husband.

Yes, radiation causes cancer, but nobody really knows exactly how much exposure is too much, so they set the "actionable limits" for radon pretty low.  

Many of the units are now missing the window AC units that were once in 2 rooms per unit, and several of the radiators (approximately 5 out of the 24) are gone too.
