Just thought I'd post this for any landlords deciding whether to spend the energy advertising an apartment this close to Chrismas.I have small 1BR units, clean, safe and inexpensive $675 plus utilities, in a small town 20 minutes o commute to Nashua NH and Manchester NH, could commute to Boston, MA, but if this is all the apartment you can afford, you're probably not working in Boston.

My lab, Opie, is always full of energy and LOVES water!

Cheaper for you and save them more in energy than a high efficiency furnace with poor insulation/sealing.If the building is well sealed and insulated then nothing wrong with your plan IMO.

Rather than bending over backwards to appease him, your energy now should be spent on regaining control of the house without making an enemy of him.

You may also add up to $6,000 of energy efficiency improvements into the loan.”For those who truly want to keep their homes, VA-to-VA refinancing loans are an excellent option in the face of a new military assignment that takes the homeowner out of the area."

And yes check into the energy efficient windows.

I don't get fancy window but I do pop for the energy efficienct ones and wrap if needed, still under $300 installed a window.

My recommendation is to spend your energy on finding seller financing - lot easier on the nerves and usually reasonable rates and terms.

All new electrical to code, roof, bathrooms, finish work inside and out with added landscaping and walk way, and this is the short list.If you buy this please do it right and go green with 21st century technology - use passive and active solar when construction occurs, use every energy saving option available perhaps add a solarium or greenhouse while your at it.

It will cost less than you might think and it will pay for itself in energy savings especially if you are in an area that has high heating/cooling loads.
