After sitting vacant for a while I'm entertaining the option of converting to residential units.

If it doesn't happen often you could roll the dice and always convert back to a LTR if you had to.

This normally would not be an issue but the cost of the water/sewer is extremely high in this area and specifically because the meter is a one inch, the costs are much higher than a normal 3/4 inch on a non-duplex. 

Typically, we are shooting for top of foundation to be 24 inches higher than the road and at least 36 inches above the bottom of the drainage.

Thats why we dont charge by hour for snow , its by the push , or by the inch . 

SizeCracks wider than 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) are a cause for concern Cracks wider than 15 millimeters (0.6 inches) may indicate a serious problem Cracks wider than 25 millimeters (1 inch) could be a sign of structural damage Location Cracks above doors and windows, Cracks near the ends of walls, Cracks where walls and ceilings meet, and Cracks that allow daylight in.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Sale price: $435,000 Primary residence converted to a rental after 2 years.

Basically you can't have the yard be higher than 6 inches below the window sill (otherwise it would v difficult for people to exit out of this window in case of an emergency). 

@Jim G.Per the International Residential Code if the glazing is less then 60 inches vertically from a standing or walking surface then yes it’s required to be safety glass as it’s considered a hazardous area.
