I know most people say leverage into more units before paying off a unit as to not tie up funds (safety through numbers etc), but I like the idea of paying off 1 in 3 units owned.For marketing, it seems there are plenty of ways to find cash buyers for deals.

my partner in my timber business used this line frequentlyProverbs 11:14Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.

depends on tenant age, maturity and previous home ownership history. pellet stoves generally very safe 98% shut off with no electricity so not great safety net in grid down storm. and flame isnt open to being touched and can be controlled with thermostat   but as with everything from tub, pool, gym, ensure they sign legal form, require renters insurance, get your agent to include it and have lawyer draft a memo and add basic training every heating season. i am looking switch over my oil to pellet wood boiler fed by auger but its auto feed system in basement.  

I did not want to ignore the situation because of safety and liability issues.

These appliances have detachable cords, most notably for fire safety.

These were all safety related work issues that were approved by the PM company and under the repair allowance in the agreement (I signed this account...). 

The listing agent is also the owner, who does a few flips a year - he tends to over-do things sometimes from what I've observed.Bottom line: cash flow will be razor-thin if you're financing at 80% LTV.

there is nothing wrong with it, most microwaves have that option and do not have to be vented out, even though as a contractor i prefer them to vent out. if the existing pipe already vents out, which it probably does if there is a pipe in the cabinet already. what you would have to do is unscrew the 2 or 3 screws in the top cabinet that screw down into the microwave ( if not there then there may be 2 bolts in the front of the unit behind the cover that have to be loosened) that will loosen the microwave, then its a matter of taking the screws out that hold the fan at the top back, pull the blower fan out and change the direction so that it faces up, screw the fan back to the unit and put the microwave back up and bolting it. check to make sure the fan connects to the duct work, if not, add a piece of sheet metal to connect and seal that joint. btw you may want to unplug the microwave before doing so, just for safety reasons.

The work they do goes beyond the aesthetic and includes health and safety as well.

Also, for tenant safety, does the basement have two entrances?
