I do supply a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, though.

So the boxes could have caused these minimum clearances to not be met.But as Rob K has said, it's going to be hard to prove that was the exact cause.Due to lack of common sense in many people - including homeowners (not just tenants) - I have some documents that I supply with the lease to explain some of the simplest matters that normally fall under common sense - like changing batteries in the alarms :)

To me, its all about supply and demand.

We skype all the time, I have family in Europe, friends in the Middle East and Coast to coast, skype is great.you can get cheap webcams for $12 at larger computer supply stores.

The only codicil is that you want to supply an estimated HUD1 filled out correctly via a title company stating that sort of thing.But possibly the best way to go is a negotiating company.

Eventually interest rates need to go up and the amount of home a fixed monthly payment can buy will go down, then the rules of supply and demand will kick in to drive prices back to a historical mean.

Which - I would posit - is probably not a good investment.Here is an article that is kindof related:http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/33687/20100709/analysts-hong-kong-to-be-rmb-offshore-center.htm#I think the Chinese gov't is trying to create an entire market for the RMB offshore and I think the purpose for this is for them to control the RMB supply and transferability easily.

I would try the local electrical supply houses.

I have seen it speculated that Japan will suck more oil off the market and drive up the price some with 20% of its energy no longer being supplied by nuclear reactors.

This all being said, I have no idea how to structure this...Fee: 10% of rents collected (market)Release: 1/3 of 1 month's rent (market seems to be 1/2, I live next-door not really a hassle)I am going to be taking care of his yard, but it's super small and connected to mine so I will maybe charge him $10-20 a month to offset my supplies/gasoline.
