I stick with gas for cooking, as the temperature is more easily controlled.

If you are able to get a lower rate on a refi your mortgage would drop some and you'd actually have more options then.

Maybe I can drop by and pick your brain some time when I'm visiting back home.  

BTW, I saw it drop to 140K ARV, and then, the scammer walked from the deal.

He "dropped the ball" on getting the electric called in and now because of the storm it could be many more weeks before we get power to the house.

If you swap out all of the things mentioned above, your usage will probably drop by 20%-25%, and your resident's water heating bill will also decline a bit.

Less so in DC proper, more so in the suburbs.Energy costs in this regional are pretty moderate, so for most people the aesthetics of a house are more important than the small energy savings.On a typical median priced home in Montgomery or Fairfax County you would see about a $20k drop in value by adding panels.

But his 50" drop will be grounds for someone to sue him, in case of fire, 50" is too high for someone to escape through a window.

The other straight-line hairlines on both the ceiling and walls are likely the drywall seams that have flexed a bit due to the house settling, and seasonal shrinking and expanding from temperature changes.

To a rent and hold the house letting the tenant pay down the note and make $500 a month, or do I cash out and buy something cash in a few months when interest rates go up and prices drop?
