There are two solutions that we topically recommend: (we are a license HVAC company in the DC are) one is to separate de ducts for each floor, and add automatic dampers controlled by thermostats on each floor.

Just thank God that you don't have Bill De Blasio to shut it down.The presence of a school may change from market to market.

Few rentals nearby, once had property on a cul-de-sac street with 22 houses, 20 of which were owner occupied, guess who owned the other 2?

Just something interesting I thought I'd share:I opened today's mail, and found a $30 bill for a storm water fee for one of my rental units (one side of a duplex) in Delaware, OH.

Every home I buy with out garage I put one up (de-tached only) and create almost a second driveway lane as to not bother my home tenants if they do not want to rent it.

:I buy 10-20 at a crack so my prices might not be the same as yours are.well la-de-da!

If you can't you aren't ready.Seller-carried, de facto equity (debt) is dubious in the current lending environment.

Creating a joint tenancy with a spouse or de-facto partner.

If tank is still full and nobody flushed its fine,,,if empty its leaking more than you thought.With our harder water, some deposits,,,I have good luck flushing the stool and taking my finger to where flapper seats and de scum that,,,also edge of flapper where it seals.

Any seller seconds are "de facto equity" for the investor/principal because in theory it would satisfy the debt holder's requirements to procure additional debt.
