As I embark on my REI adventure, I would like any references for trusted contractors in the Trenton/Central NJ region.

Also, do you find that the service plans from PSE&G worth it? One of my units has an older furnace. 

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all!! 

Now, if we were turkeys, we would be smart ones like these!

Who is in the property? A tenant with a lease? If so, they can stay until the lease expires.

Shouldn't the unit that caused the leak be responsible?

We bought our 1st property using a HELOC for the down payment, so essentially 0% down. I plan on putting everything that I budgeted for maintenance and CapEX back into the HELOC, then tapping it as needed for expenses.

I will be checking the store out tomorrow...weather permitting.

Aly, that place is about 1/2 mile from my unit. I will check it out.

I am thinking about adding a used refrigerator and washer/dryer to my empty unit. Does anyone know of a reliable used appliance dealer in the central NJ area?

Thanks all! What is different about a month-month agreement, other than the terms?

My newly acquired Duplex has a long-term tenant on a Month-Month. She has been in for 5 years and has been a good tenant from all info that I have. I approached her about signing a new lease. She does not want to sign a 1 year lease, but would sign a 6 month. I have thought about 2 options:

1. 6 Month lease, followed by a 12 month.

2. Keep her on a month-month.

Option 2 could have some advantages, as if she does not turn out to be a good tenant, I will have an easier out.

What are your thoughts?
