[Note: hydro rate is $0.105/kW].As long as you prep your purchaser/tenants that they may incur a usage spike if relying on baseboards during a prolonged cold-snap, there should be little noise.

If you pay on their behalf, you are only going to prolong the process.

Any repairs other than routine maintenance done after the property is placed in service is subject to  capitalization rule, which is to capitalize the payment if it prolongs the life of the asset or improves its value.

This stimulus package is a short term fix attempt and will prolong the necessary process of financial restraint by households.One can not get around the truth... people are spending over their means.

High and prolonged levels of cortisol cause negative symptoms,I am a former diabetic but I still have high blood pressure so stress can contribute to these biological conditions: heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety disorder, and other illnessesWhat are stressors in the immediate environment?

@Cary Ferguson Jr If I drop the Japan reference, and just talk about prolonged low interest rates (a possibility so that the government can afford to service its debt) and the foreign money pouring in to US real estate (we're the least lame option) yields could still be going lower and lower in real estate suggesting that it's worth loading up on more real estate even with declining yields.

Hopefully, judgement and advice from this forum will allow me to narrow it down to a single choice so i'm very eager to hear from you all;1 - A slow start at a small scale (cash)a) Move in late October, applying for a bank account and small credit cards where feasible to build a credit history. b) Buy a simple and turnkey 3BR single-family to househack for ~ 100k in my own cash (Such as [1.i]), while transplanting or recreating my exterior cleaning business (1.ii).c) As soon as any lender would allow, exit through whatever HELOC/mortgage on the house I could secure in order to buy a new one again in cash, and repeat until a 'normal' lending process is offered.With only the taxes, insurance, maintenance, capital expenditures, and vacancies to account for at first and with room rentals in the area going for around 500-600/month, this seems to be a soft and forgiving method to land, and will become the backup plan regardless of my chosen path.PROS:*Eliminates FICO scores, lender/underwriter scrutiny, and credit history as potential barriers;*Least risky due to small total investment;*Least complicated process, and;*Lowest initial ongoing expenses.CONS:*No leverage - Stuck for a prolonged period before continuation;*No diversification - All eggs in one basket until refinancing;*Effort, risk, and expense of starting a temporary small business, and;*Loan ability throttled by self-employment.

In the mean time it just prolongs the agony of a slow melt down instead of a quick ending to the mess!

I fear, without either a reduction in capital gains or some other incentive for the entrepreneur, this will be a prolonged recession and an even longer drawn out period of low GDP growth with a moderate chance of higher inflation.
