I had received a power bill (forwarded from the house) about 6 months ago and called the town (who runs the power, water, city clerk..) to shut off power.

This house only has 1bath (but 4 BRs), whereas many have 2BA, so let's assume the lower end of the range.

Right now, its a 5000 sqr foot home on the water, with Al Pachino as my neighbour ( realy good price for rent. $1500 month)I could rent a home for $700-$1000 if i wanted to live with rats or mice in an absolute dump.

I think it's an interesting extra feature, and it may make a company using it look a little more professional, but I'm not sure if it's 'industry changing' either.I'm playing with some things like Instant Messaging bots, and Twitter, as extra ways for people to be able to access information - so far I think it's still in the early adopter range.

Water leaks create other issues, and, in some areas, termites can too.

All of the above can make the note worth anywhere from 0 to above par (37k).For instance, if the payor has good credit, has paid for a year on time and currently is up to date, and if the note yield were in the 10-12% range or so with a loan to value of under say 65%, then you'd probably get close to par if not more for the note.If, on the other hand, the note is delinquent, has almost no equity to back it (which it sounds like this note has), and has any other senior liens ahead of it, then it is worth just about 0.Anyways, without the rest of the info, we can only guess.

Hard money will be much more, probably in the range of $5-8K.

I have heard (not used them myself) it is in the $5k - $10K per month range.

Im thinking it will be in the 7k range since its a mansard (barn) style roof.The other problem is the asbestos shingles... havent gotten contractor quotes back yet.

.- Upgrade furnace to high-efficiency unit (90+ rating)- Convert oil water heater to gas if possible.- Recycle: demo, paper towels, drink bottles, ect.- Replace the toilet (old toilets use a lot more water!)
