I'm curious about the cost of submetering, or at a minimum install new shut-off valves so that when I have a plumbing issue I'm not killing the water to all the units at once. 

We actually saw a surge in bookings after the shut downs were lifted because both markets are places where the majority of tourists, even in the best of times, drive to visit.

We don't winterize, that's when I do any maintenance it needs or we spend a night etc....I have cameras, temperature notifications, leak detectors that will automatically shut the main off etc....and the mini splits are back up heat.  

That will get you shut down pretty quick by the real estate commission.

It's easy enough here to find numerous banks within walking distance for currency exchange, most of the folks speak German, English, some Turkish and other languages as well, there are no shortages of things to do/sites to see, dining of local cuisine as well as international restaurants (from American to Australian), and shopping from both major retailers as well as open/local market shopping. 

>The home has been vacant with its utilities shut off for about 15 years so the main components of a house need work. 

This was on a restaurant.

And they will shut off your money if they sense any adverse movement on your balance sheet or threat to their bottom line.

However Hartford is quite large and the house you are looking at could potentially be a 20 minute drive to the action of jobs, restaurants, shopping, etc.

How can I find out if a mix use property’s commercial space can be used for a restaurant?
