I appreciate the response. more data: the seller said that he lived in the house and did a test many yrs ago close to 1.0. also he has rented it since then, but the tenants moved out in feb and its been closed for 4 months, the windows, doors etc. only once a month seller goes to get his mail.is the closed condition also contributed to a 6.2 reading?

This would be in addition to the already sliding real estate market.In a nutshell, no deal is a good deal if end users can't buy.

ya, I took a look out the window last night at 1130 and couldnt believe what I saw....huge wall of flames about a mile away.

Extra insulation in attic and "solar reflective" screens no all south and west facing windows.

I'm sure there has to be a opaque glass alternative or sliding something.

I have had major issues with electricity, plumbing, rotten windows, gutters falling off, citations from the city for peeling paint.

I'm by no means a seasoned rehabber, but I just had the windows changed in my duplex and I went with Silverline windows.

Personally I like Opera I have seven windows open on it at all times & it remembers everything every time I turn it on.

You can also sign up for the webinar so that you can stay at home, the slides are the same, etc, so that might be worth the time if you can't physically attend.As for the funding workshop again, I haven't seen any complaints so far, just skepticism, which I think is totally fine.

I had jacked up the insulation to about 24" (90% plus of HEAT GAIN is through the roof), I had SOLAR SCREENS on all south and west facing windows, all of my windows and doors were well caulked to prevent air leaks, all of my units had electronic/automatic set-back thermostats, whenever I replaced a roof I went with a ridge vent to improve air flow through the attic.
