I know there are mixed reviews on lower priced homes but I was thinking I would replace all of the plumbing in my homes with PEX plumbing and move to central AC/Heat.  

I have also seen heating cables to melt the snow and the cable goes some ways into the drain so it doesn't freeze.

When you are ready to create your exhibits - I would keep each exhibit short… combining items so that you have 1 exhibit for each of these if applicable: Hazardous Conditions, Code Violations, Unpermitted Improvement Out of Code ImprovementsStructural Defects (perhaps to include foundations, rot, joists, bearing walls, grade and draining, etc.)Material Defects (perhaps to include electrical defects, plumbing, septic defects, heating and cooling defects, etc – things that are maybe not so “structural”, however they make the property uninhabitable unless items are repaired)So… you are not making each picture into an exhibit… make a separate exhibit for each one of these categories above and combine pictures and bids to total the cost to cure for each category.

It's a nice place, built in 2005 w/ vigas, fireplace, radiant heat tile floors, enclosed courtyard, but no view.  

Please help me analyze this deal thanks.Listing link: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1...Asking price: 299,999 Down payment: 3.5% Taxes: 4,600$Rents: 1st floor (3 bedroom 1400 sq ft)- 1250$,  2nd floor (3 bedroom 1400 sq ft)- 1150$ , 3rd floor (2 bedroom 1000 sq  ft)- 850$Utilities: tenants pay for water, heat, and electric (separate meters) Beautifully restored huge 3 family home located in desirable federal Hill section of Bristol, close to ESPN and hospital.

I have been seeing cases when heat which gets expensive here is included in rent payment. 

Pay it, and be grateful my tenant had heat on a cold holiday, after having the power out for two days over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (we had a really bad winter storm and a huge area was without power for several days), or call the company and try to negotiate the cost down a bit, because the tech was not there for two hours (their shop is 10 minutes away), while trying to maintain a good working relationship with them?

This monthly amt. includes water, heat, etc.  

Just a different type of construction down here (and that space is needed for insulation to deal with the heat).

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my numbers on the duplex I'm buying and ask a little advice about separating OIL HEAT.
