We did all the work ourselves and it's been very rewarding to see the progress and finished product - next steps is back splash and moving a gas line, I might sub that one out because I don't want to blow up the house lol Our tenant is currently living in the top unit on a 1 year lease but we're not in a rush to move up to renovate that unit yet.Just wanted to say hi and see if anybody had any tips for house hacking, renovation ideas/best practices, and overall helpful advice.

I would risk buying without Phase 1 as long as I know there was no possible polluting business located previously on the property (for example gas station).

Then I saw the ground breaking 6 months later for a super large gas station 1/2 a mile down the road.

Hi I have a thermador gas cooktop model# sgcs365rs that does not spark at any of the igniters.

Because they are in an LLC, PGW (the local gas utility) made us go through their commercial side even though the gas service is residential.

Do buyers respond to them well (thinking savvy Los Angeles buyers specifically) or would it be better to spend considerably more money for a direct vent gas fireplace (has a real flame but does not require a chimney).  

If you are interested in MF you should ask for the T-12 and rent roll and do some analysis on it even if the deal doesnt work out just for the practice. some expenses to be mindful of in addition to taxes and PM are; insurance, water, sewer, gas, repairs and maintenance, turnover, trash removal, landscaping, marketing.

Thanks I do own the only lot on the street out of the flood zone.. and we are in the heart of the booming gas and oil boom and there is no breakfast coffee place in town or the next one.. there is a bridge being built 1/8 away across the Ohio river connecting Wv with Ohio.

I would always opt to charge less on rent and have tenants pay their own water, gas and electricity. 

Yes it’s cold But the gas is the tenants responsibility so I don’t think much of that .
