& to think when we were kids the ice box only had two moving parts...a block of ice & the door.With the cost of parts & shipping we found it cheaper to buy used appliances if we see any deals online or through friends moving.We also found the appliance stores who pick up used appliances usually have a guy on staff that will take the old units for resale or scrap.

most condos in PCB are low right now and could be gotten for the same price as a SFH a block or two from the beach.

Hi everyone! I made the decision to join "Bigger Pockets" in search of like minded people. This past weekend I attended a three day workshop (sales pitch) presented by a well-known Real Estate Guru tha...

I had three months before I had to go to training.So I sold everything I had and went on an adventure of a lifetime.Went for 3 months and stayed 12 years. i have a beautiful wife, and three of the most beautiful girls in the world or at least in my world.Well we do what most Australians do, we got a few blocks of land and a investment home.Then we got pregnant and the those properties allowed my wife to stay home for 6 years and raise my beautiful babies, while I was out working my *** off...lol.Now we are stateside in Tennessee and loving it.Looking to build an empire or pay for the girls college i figure they both cost the same.Looking to get some income to retire on and give my girls options to schools they would like to go.So I'm an open book and sponge.

The only property on the block they don't have under contract is the building I am looking at.The story gets better, err, more complicated I guess.

As much as landlords want a tamper-proof thermostat to exist, the reality is that all thermostats are vulnerable to certain tenant practices; read below for more on that:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/39794-heating-seasonhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/23979-cap-heat-in-mn-or-other-cold-winter-states-http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/34037-heat-included-in-rent-new-york-statehttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/39174-landlord-controlled-thermostatsYeah, when you drive past a block of rentals in the winter and you see windows open, you can bet the landlord is paying the heat there ...

Call it $1500 to get it out of there, and that could go up easily if it's hard to get them off their lots or if the dump fee is higher.To put in a new one: $3000 to $5000 to block/anchor/level.

In general streets like this have lower values.In the adjacent area, Allendale, some blocks are nicer some are the same or worse.
