Now, I can tell you with certainty that she'd tell a lie when the truth would sound better and in the first 5 minutes of the call my BS detector was fully deflected and straining past the red into the "no reality check" range, but I continued to ask her questions.

From my career with a fortune 100 company, I've learned that there are two types of goals: Stretch and Strain.

Energy efficiency was around more in the 80s than earlier, double pane glazing, better insulation was available.

Anthony Gayden Michael Wentzel , it put a bit of extra strain on my relationship w/ my then-girlfriend when she moved from our apt to the 4plex, but knew I planned to do it no matter what..

To sketch out a rough outline, you would work alongside the current owner to ramp up your capability to manage the properties, help relieve some of the strain that he/she is experiencing keeping up with all of the properties, then over time you would begin taking over ownership of the properties.

Owner thinks the comps would be 120-125K Zillow says it is worth 116,000K I don’t have MLS Access so if anyone on here has it and can help let me know House is not updated and needs some repairs: listed below 4 bed 2 and a half bath 1800 sq ft total including sunroom and loft overlooking valley (has great view) Wood siding Built in 1983 No tenants owners are occupying They own it as a land contract that Owe 28,000 Trying to get as much as possible but understands he will probably 60-70% Wants 75,000 but willing to negotiate Looking to sell as quickly as possible Don’t want to give it away 75,000 sounds like a low fair offer to owner He says the view sells it Owner thinks it would sell on open market but need to sell now Will list it with realtor if they absolutely have to Will stay in house if necessary Asphalt roof new within 2 years soon Garage has older roof but the roof does not leak No offers yet and have not talked to anyone else Repairs/updates needed:Finish painting trim on outside of property and garage.New garage door and replace two window panes in garagenew roof on garage if wanting to replace (but it does not leak right now)Finish staining and painting deck railsnew medal door for storm shelterfinish wood siding in sun roomnew counter tops (current ones are not granite, but are in very good conditionappliances all work but are not new

Also, a better quality dual pane window will reduce sound transmission.

While a more efficient boiler will lower gas/oil/electricity consumption to produce heat, if 50% of that heat is escaping through non air-sealed, uninsulated (R4-R5) walls & roof and single pane windows, you are still waisting energy & money, and your building will still be draughty and uncomfortable.

New double-pane windows with spray foam in the cracks around them is the easiest and most cost-effective way to do this.

Regardless can you share how it paned out with your situation?
