Hi Jill,Did you eventually replace your water submeter by products of assured automation?

$3k in non-mortgage expenses sounds ridiculous... that's $36k a year.

@Ned Carey, he sounds like a potential podcast guest.Anyone know of any good podcasts on the subject?

Along the way the GC and subcontracted plumber mentioned numerous times that they found great news or thought of more efficient solutions (i.e. the mainline plumbing under the basement was intact--that they had assumed was all broken and needed replacing).

I thought it sounded like a property management nightmare until I learned that the current property manager just gets to live in the house for free, and in exchange he keeps the units filled and does most of the needed repairs.Any advice on whether or not to do this deal?

Does it sound reasonable for me to switch lawyers now? 

Added a pantry & replaced 32" back door with new 36" door ($156).Bath was also rehabbed with another 1/2 bath added. $2,000 in materials but we did all the work ourselves. 

How hard would it be to replace the location and rent they are currently paying with another comparable unit?

Sounds too good to be true on those terms.

Sounds better than “that guy” or the guy over there.
