For many types of repairs that are health and safety related (heating, roof that does not leak, working drainage, water, ability to secure the doors and windows) a landlord can not hold the tenant financially responsible no matter what the tenant signs.

However, there is a huge tower 3 blocks away that could be seen anywhere in the neighborhood.It's a cookie cutter neighborhood so many houses nearby do have the same situation.I read that besides being a fire hazard, the magnetic field might cause health issue therefore affects price appreciation.

ANYTHING helps.Thank you for taking time to look over my post,D'AndreD'Andre, here's something I always ask about situations like these:Have you asked her what HER strategy for the financial health of your family entails?

I model out the returns so I know I will get my money back and if the business becomes obsolete I can get out quick with a profit.You have to watch what franchise rules they are obligating you too and lease commitments.As far as starting a business from scratch that takes a ton of time to build sales and momentum and startup cost is high compared to buying after someone else has spent the money.You can find good deals when people have partners that split up, divorces, health issues, etc. just like real estate.Business brokers like to tout people taking their IRA for retiring and buying a business.
