Non profit organizations sometimes need large homes for their voluteers or temp staff.

I can't believe how low the pubs can stoop as to claim the labor dept would manipulate numbers for any political purpose.

you will get a good idea of costs from your municipality which will include things like taping into water, binging in temp electric, sewer tie in, if there are any impact fees, costs of submitting plans for permits, and the cost to actually pull the permits.

That flexibility allows you to manipulate things such as coverage amount, deductible amount, policy form, etc. to more closely match your needs and risk tolerance and thus have some influence on the premiums you pay.Hope this helps some.

It was putting out cold air but when i have it set on 70 , and i have some temp gauges throughout the house and they all say it's 82 in the townhouse at 7 pm .

My dilima is that this is a great chance to pick up some fairly nice cash producing homes and is it worth the risk to go higher on the monthly payment to get my foot in the door temp. until I can pull a refi and pay him completely off which mostly we would work a ballon payment at 3 years?

Consider hiring 'Kelly Girl' or other temp agency person.

I also search for properties that have been on the market for a while, including the total history, not just current days on market, which can be manipulated by agents.

But knowledge of local conditions is a much better indicator than an appraisal, since appraisals are easily manipulated by simply choosing different comps.

Willie - If you're talking about posting fake ads in order to manipulate unsuspecting investors that you're lying to them, don't do it.
