I do not feel as though the pet fee they paid means they don't have to keep floors clean, I needed to pay a professional carpet cleaner to try to remove the dog smell.

Building in Long Island means finding affordable land, which should be very slim.If you want to do value add for house hacking, your first try should be on an existing two-family that is not in great shape that you can learn to renovate.

Also interested in your woodworking projects as I've been trying my hand for some time now.

In other words, if you put one in your offer it will probably not get accepted.I had one shift on me, because they used a piece of 2x4 under a segment, must have not had enough stone. 60 years later that 2x4 was rotten away, the pipe broke and was 50% offset starting to catch solids (you know..).

I've had to remove granite that was only installed a day or two before and it was tough enough.If you really want to try to sell it, first see how the removal goes first.

Don't try to hit a home run or grand slam.

For the house to be vacant for almost a year, I think she must not be well or be under some kind of stress, so I feel like by coming in and offering the right kind of deal, I would be benefitting her and myself at the same time.How would you guys approach this situation?

Hi, try Great Lakes REIA

also have you simply tried to contact the builder and make a request for repairs ??

Hi All,I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
