They may even have a package of essential landlord form(including lease) for sell without you having to pay for writing one up. 

I am working through my garage now with plans to be very selective to the point of storing essentially nothing moving forward.

LVT Plank for floors etc in the future (also recessed lights)Basement: Cleaned out, updated electrical, plumbing, and GAS (used to be oil) with new central HVAC unit installed and ready for hookup to the PGW line (waiting on PGW). 

The VA loan allows for what is called “bonus entitlement” where essentially you can have more than 1 VA loan at a time.

Very creative...Switching the dark cabinet and range seems essential because the corner is just a terrible place for the range.

My in-laws already have several other rent houses on the property.The property is not going to be sold (it is needed retirement income for my in-laws) and my wife is the heir.In addition to rent payments, we would also cover paying property taxes on the improvements we have made, and bear 50% of the costs for maintenance/repair of shared use facilities (electric gate, road maintenance, etc.)Can you explain how leasing for $1 per year and splitting profits through a partnership would be preferred to essentially splitting profits as a form of rent payment?

Like John mentioned....if the pipe has essentially rusted out in several visible areas, its almost at that point in a bunch of areas you cant see just yet....its rotting from the inside out..... and you can just see the spots that have made it all the way through....fix it right....doing some band aid like suggested above is a temporary fix for a BIG issue that is waiting to happen....and when it does it going to cost you a TON more...fix it right.....

Its Oil baseboard heat probably needs to switched over to gas.

I'm not even sure if you're dealing with a brick wall, anyways....If you own a structure that is the latter (before 1910 and true masonry load bearing brick wall) and you've got severe masonry issues then you may be in a situation where you essentially need to rebuild the load bearing parts of the structure..... 

Essential you will have two payments to be made every month.
