Shame on me for not increasing their rent as the rental market heated up.

· Electrician · HVAC (heat and air) · Plumbing · Carpet · Paint · Roofing What you do whenever you look at a new property, or start a due diligence process after getting an offer accepted, is to contact your team of contractors.

Remove heat vents and shove the vacuum hose in the ducts as far as you can.

I've been working on a business and marketing plan and I'm just about ready to get going.The housing market around here is really heating up.

Drop ceiling, lighting, sheetrock, resurfacing the floor, commercial style doors, better heating system, ect and leave the rest up to the renter.

But I overkilled the ceilings with 5/8 drywall & much stronger joint compound.Given the interesting open concept & 3 floors of active living space now would be the time to give serious consideration to the zoning of the furnace & a/c to ensure BALANCED heat/cooling.

Heated with an electric heater and cooled with a window AC unit.

New heating systems?

And being vacant they may have been renovated previously, but things like water heater, heating system, plumbing cabinets, etc had been stolen

The moist heat will draw the Kool-Aid up into the towel.
