I want to change the windows.

I do think we have a perceived window for housing with rates as low as they are and the economy currently having an uptick.

I should add that we did a complete rehab as well (new kitchen/granite, bathrooms, windows, rebuilt walls and reconfigured layout on 2nd floor w/ all permits pulled).

Your friend would then be an owner occupant and be entitled to additional expenses and you being paid off.If you have had official notice of intent, then this plan is out the window, except that you could show any recent sale agreement to establish a willing and able buyer.

First the owners daughter was ruling the roost and things were VERY quiet,,,when the sun went down you didnt even see a light in a window.

Even so, making sure to control the temp is vitally important with the combination of a victorian era (poorly insulated) building in a Wisconsin winter.WI also offers landlords of low income rentals a weatherization program for older buildings that will replace appliances, windows, boilers/furnaces, and improve insulation in attics and walls.

Of course, no one told me this when I bought it (through an real estate broker/investor), when I began renovating it (through a contractor/investor), nor when I applied for a rental license at the town's public records.The long and short of it is that my wife and I have poured $75K into renovating the property, including the installation of egress windows and smoke alarms in every sleeping area, all with the plan to rent out 6 of the 8 bedrooms to university students because the University of Maryland is right down the street.

stephen, it's a pretty large closet...lol...i have a queen size mattress in here along with my desk for work stuff...it's not bad, and it's the cheapest way i could find to live in the downtown area...just wish it had a window, sometimes i feel like i could sleep all day without a window in this cave haha

As I looked out my hotel window at the Vegas Strip last night, there appears to be a LOT of money available.

Costs eliminated:*RoofingCosts Reduced:*Flooring (greatly reduced)*Painting*Exterior maintenance, including windows*HVAC *Exterminator costs (greatly reduces ants and termites)*Overall costs that you would see with any new constructionI also believe I will be creating a competitive advantage from the home design with the stated benefits of:*Greatly reduced utility cost for tenants (50-80%)*Safe from tornados (a factor in my market)*Outside noise reduction*Safe from storms and fire*Increased security*Less bugs and dust*Unique design and conversation worthy*“Green” construction*Potentially increased yard spaceMy worries:*Maintenance savings will not be great enough to offset higher acquisition costs.
