Originally posted by Account Closed credit for a primary residence, only for investment properties.It sounds to me like you first need to figure out who is going to be occupying this home as their primary residence, then speak to an immigration lawyer to make sure what you're planning on doing isn't going to impact your friend's visa, and then speak to a CPA about the pros/cons of your plan.

There's also the small matter of the blower unit fan (the "force" in "forced hot air") needing electricity.So if you have hot water radiators (water convection will move water) running from a pilot-light using gas furnace AND you can force the furnace on without a thermostat, then yes, you probably can have heat when the electric is out.

Chances are it should have minimal impact.

@John Kaspar  A Landlord can't force a Tenant comply with the Lease.

I purchased the home last year and added forced appreciation.

Regarding location, the best deals are in the areas which were most impacted by the end of the tire and parts industry.

Declining affordability has had a significant impact on homebuyers, many of whom have been priced out of the market and are choosing to wait for sales prices to ease before resuming their home search.New Listings were down 12.6 percent to 597.

I use to work as a software engineer for 6 years at an airline before the pandemic forced them to layoff all contractors.

Insulation, more efficient equipment, upgraded windows, nothing cheap will have a major impact. 

Can she force a sale?
