the higher end is ok but if they let water stand on it or you have a leak it will be shot also.

Can I file something with the registry of deeds in my county stating that the property at X location owned by Mr Smith has agreed to sell on this date to me (Tenant).Thats it for now thank you all for your input, I live in Maine and dont know how the laws differ from state to state, but if you can lead me to water i will drink.David

BP,I have a potential deal on a SFH 3B 1B house built in 1900.Listed Price $114KThe house has recently been rehabbed by a flipper but after a strong rain storm yesterday the house has a leak with water dripping into the bathroom and hallway.

One of my best sources has been the gals at the water company, and city code enforcement officer.  

I have had difficulty showing in January and February due to weather and have had a water freeze disaster (because power went out) in early March this year.

No one would know it's not laminate -- until they spill water on it and it's not ruined.

Vacuum, use damp cloth not water to clean and use Shaw R2x or equivalent.

They are obligated to pay yes. but that does not always happen.you can't get water from a rock.It is just part of the business.

If the guy is just this side of a crook, then he'll reject any deal that would allow the buyer to make money.Here are the numbers as I see them: (notes here)Mortgage Rate 5.00%Length of Mortgage in years 15Monthly Mortgage payment $1,601.36 (195k principle)Taxes $125.00Sewer and Water $300.00 (I don't have a clue how much this costs where you are, but this is about what it would cost me to run 9 units)Trash $200.00 (I have 7 units on a $150/month dumpster)Heat/Utilities $- (Are there any common lights?)

Maybe the current past retirement age owner just didn';t want to fool with the financial calculator math to figure out if it made sense.I do know that one park had master and sub meters and there was a 30% difference in water used at the master vs out at the sub meters.
