Based on what you have said so far, my guess is that you may have 2 problems - poor draft on the vent and an open pipe joint somewhere.

It barely meets code & has a tendency to separate @ the seams & joints.

Can you jointly qualify for something with your GF's income?   

Above a certain amount, all profit goes into a joint account (50/50).

DetailsValue (as-is): 318,000Purchase Price: 273,000Rent per Bedroom: A) 575 x 2 = 1,150 (both bedrooms)   B) 575+875 = 1,450  (one bedroom and Master suite)Option #2I recently spoke with a man who is getting divorced and will be needing to sell a duplex that he own jointly with his soon to be ex wife.

I opened a joint checking account with my PM for specific properties. 

Hes already gone and not sure how to contact him, also what happens to the joint security deposit it just rolls over to her?

low capital transaction techniques:1) seller financing2) options3) master lease ( with or without option to purchase)4) investors/ joint ventures5) trade, barter, exchange

When it cools down, it contracts again, oftentimes leaving cracks in the bricks and mortar and gaps in the head joints. 

This is the way that I rationalize it: married money is community property money, so if he works and she stays at home it is still their joint income.Married couples have legal and financial responsibility to one another.While married couples do break up, they are certainly more committed than the shack-ups, so they are less likely to break up.My criteria states that roommates have to qualify separately.
