Naturally, the agent is going to make deals look a little better than they really are because they want you to buy.

They will look at flipping during the previous 12 months, which by the nature of it being a recent foreclosure is an unlikely scenario but one you do want to check by asking your Title Company for a Chain of Title early in the process.

Even being dirty won't have much effect, since, unlike a gas or oil heater, there's no where else for the heat to go.

The price quoted seems OK to me; since I usually end up with natural gas-fired heat rather than the electric systems you seem to be getting you might have to adjust a bit for different energy source.I'm surprised that you are being told "no permits needed" for this.

Just pour some water in them,,or better yet in a vacant house pour veg oil in them,,,it does not dry out like water and does not freeze if you have a heat malfunction

Lots to know, and it would be impossible to answer your question well here because it is very general in nature.

And you thought he wasn't getting anything done....Iran is now a nuclear power.I will say this - if Iran is sitting on oil fields and sees the need for nuclear power then what the heck are we waiting for?

Only an idiot would never have the oil changed properly in their car with the hopes that someday they can get the engine rebuilt in another country by a better mechanic.

Development by its nature is a few years behind the current times.

I think it's human nature for one to feel as if they contirbuted more in effort, time, talents or money than the others involved, I have seen and been involved in deals where all have said that there was equity in the arrangement, but it was obvious that at times there were felling of inequities, especially by those contributing labor and/or securing the deal.I guess that I have been guilty as well as the funding partner of saying in essence, "without me, you have no deal".
