Our daughter in addition to her spouse just closed on their first home.
Now, the fun part begins.
There will be a long list of things to be done, some instantaneously, some down the line. The house has an apartment that can be rented out so one of the first things they want to do is paint up there in addition to make sure that everything is ready for renters. As part of their income will depend on having that space occupied. Fortunately for them, both my spouse in addition to myself have been through this before. Our own condo needed significant remodeling with my friend and I first bought it as well. They are actually worried about the HVAC system in particular. It is older in addition to there are two separate systems. One for their living space in addition to one for the apartment. The previous owners did little to upkeep the space let alone maintain correct tune ups of the system. The HVAC duct has not been cleaned in years so this will be a number one priority. My job, before I go over is to contact a list of HVAC dealers to see how much it will cost to have the cleaning done in addition to the units looked at. There is consistently a service call friendd with these inspections so I want them to get the best deals possible! Once I have the list compiled, they can decide who they want to go with. My friend and I want them to be as in control of all the variations as possible however also be here to help when needed. I just know that having reliable heat that is clean in addition to efficient is a number one priority at this point.
