The second, is whether the cost of electric heating is OK compared with natural gas. 1) I make sure to install those units that also have a resistive heating element to supplement the heat pump for heating. 2) You need to check your local electricity rates and perform a comparison to see if you're comfortable with the costs as against natural gas.

My point is not to put high end bespoke elements in your house, but to ensure you tick all the boxes for the higher valuation.Condition Ratings and Definitions C1 The improvements have been very recently constructed and have not previously been occupied.

Halfway through it decided to delete itself without my noticing, so please excuse me if it seems rushed towards the end.As a quick prologue I am a soon-to-be Aussie migrant planning my move to probably Maine later this year with an 'Excellent'-ranked local credit score of 1024/1200 and a small history of SF REI near our East coast.

I'm also concerned about other elements of the deal - lack of control of the surrounding area (other HOAs, the local ski resort, etc) and also that high end rentals like this will probably suffer mightily during a downturn.I'm wondering if anyone has particular experience with this type of situation such that they could share their lessons learned and best practices.

@James Gallagher@J Scott  what J Scott and I are referring to is ELEVATING you up from the ranks of a basic part time investor to a full fledged buy and hold investor doing this for a living...

Up to $1200/year for highest search ranking.

While an intent to abandon is not a required element of proof in the foreclosure context, at least one court has effectively analyzed the facts through that framework.

[Only] the bottom plate should be PT if it is on slab or in ground contact.I stand by my original recommendation... temporary bracing... remove rotted elements (preferably in their entirety)... new structural elements... remove temporary bracing. ... and the more I think about it, yanking the stud, or putting in an entirely new stud (even if you were lazy about it and left the rotted one), is actually less work than the tedious task of cutting the bottom off the rotted stud, piecing in a new stud, then sistering a section in (as shown in the pictures on page 1)... that's a whole lot of cuts, nails, and measuring to get a subpar outcome.
