Just curious how Covid has impacted prices.Lead times for work have exploded but prices haven't gone up at the same rate.In CincinnatiGeneral labor is probably 40-50/hrPlumbing is 125 And electricians can charge 200+/hrThis represents the cost of everything except materials.

Imagine the impact that would have.

Also, have any of you seen negative impacts on your house/rental when a major employer has a large lay off in the area?

Most likely you will start with a construction loan and then transfer it into a permanent loan on stabilization.6) how much this project should cost overall to make numbers work ?

Where the jobs are compared to the rail termini and stations will determine the perceived value of rail transit and, thus, rail's impact on property values.Dunno if this helps...

While I admire your desire to be green, I always warn all my clients about the negative impact that solar panels can have on ones home values.

My only reason for wanting a short sale is that I just don't want to own this home anymore, and am willing to take the loss (i'm upside down on a condo by roughly $26.5k.The two main things that I'm wondering are- will the bank even allow a short sale in this 'no hardship' condition, and if so- can I do it without any negative impact to my credit whatsoever (credit is good now and we're looking to get a larger place for a growing family).

I feel more each day that the big banks and businesses ARE the gov't, but at least it's a small step that ordinary people can take to feel better about their actions and perhaps have a real impact that reaches farther than their individual ballot might...

If you have real deep pockets of cash you dont mind giving to attorneys and outcome is still in doubt,,,check first as Jon said,, Either you OWN the access,permanent recorded easement exists,,,or run as fast as you can,,,specially if its contested now with access owning owner.Only result of a court case is 1. you stomp the grapes2. end up with the pitts3.
