| Is it really this difficult to get my gas turned on in Colorado? Posted: 04 Jan 2022 02:51 AM PST I recently arrived in Colorado (A few days ago) to move into a townhome that I purchased several months ago. I had a death in the family and it prevented me from getting out here as quickly as I would have liked. In my previous state, my utilities were a combined bill. Electric and gas were paid for together. To that end, it did not occur to me to set up my new gas and electric separately here in Colorado. I hooked up my electric and then, when I moved here, I noticed how cold it was. I couldn't heat my house! I immediately called the local gas company and they confirmed that I never initiated service with them. I asked them to start up an account, and they were happy to do so. But they could not turn on my gas. They told me to contact my local city township. I did so, and code enforcement told me that they needed to test and "green tag" my meter. I asked them when they could come by and do that. They told me "we don't do that. You need to call a plumber to have the line tested". So now I am on the phone with the six plumbers in this town. Two of them have nonworking numbers, two of them are just guys who do plumbing on the side, and two of them seem legit. The one I got through to told me that this is the process for anyone who moves into town. No one wants to take responsibility for turning on someone's gas, so they pass the buck around as long as they can. He told me he is not the guy that can turn on my gas, but he gave me the number of someone who will. I called that plumber, and he confirmed that he could do it, but he is in the middle of a job. He also told me that testing line takes at least a day or two because they have to leave pressure in the line for 24 hours. So now I am stuck without heat. The plumber will take a minimum of two days, probably more like five. Then I need to get the city to come out, I'm guessing that's going to take at least a few days. After that, I need to have the gas company come out and actually turn everything on. I'm looking at a couple of weeks, I am guessing… Is there a way around this? Can I get my heat turned on more quickly somehow? There's snow on the ground outside, and the electric heaters I am using are not doing the job. My only comfort is my electric blanket, but I need to work from home. TLDR: gas company, city, and plumbers, and bureaucracy are keeping me from getting my gas turned on to heat my house for a couple of weeks minimum. Is there a way to speed this up?

| Buying a house with solar panels but theres a catch.. Posted: 04 Jan 2022 12:58 AM PST State: California House: Built in the 90's We placed an offer to buy a house above listing and it got accepted. The seller did not mention about the solar panels installed, so we asked. We were told it was on lease and we're okay with that. Later we found out that, the seller owes 28K on it but the seller will not pay for it. Th seller does not know the details of the contract yet because he lost he lost his copy. Can we proceed and buy the house? And let the seller take care of the solar matter? I dont want the solar panels. I just want the house. We think the appraisal will not cover the difference also What should we do? Can we have the company remove the solar panels? [link] [comments] |
| Have you ever felt like you missed out on the perfect place, only to end up in a better place? Posted: 03 Jan 2022 11:07 PM PST I've (29/F) been actively looking for condos for over 6 months. The very first place I put an offer on had everything I was looking for, although it was more money than I wanted to spend for HOA fees, it was still doable. It was also the first place I ever saw in person. It ended up having over over a dozen offers. At the end, it was between me and one other person and I didn't get it. I figured oh well, it's just the first place I'm seeing, there will be more good options to come. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. Now that I've spent 6 months looking and seen dozens of places, I realize that first place I saw was the best option I've seen. Of course I didn't know that then. But it just makes me wish I would have offered more and locked that place down. Knowing what I know now, I would have gladly offered $10k more to secure that place vs spending all this time looking and still not finding anything. Right now, the condo market in my area seems to be completely at a standstill. I check everyday and there are no new listings. I was talking about it with my realtor today, and she said the same thing. I'm starting to lose hope that I'll find a place that has what I want. Has anyone been in a similar situation and had it work out in your favor? [link] [comments] |
| Evicting tenant after buying a house at Auction? [CA] Posted: 03 Jan 2022 10:08 PM PST How can an occupant be evicted from a home after it is sold at auction if there is no lease? Would they need a 60 or 90-day notice? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jan 2022 03:00 AM PST Is it common in the current market that a house price is double the total assessments for the property tax? I'm gathering this information from the Realtor property page under the Property History details. [link] [comments] |
| Hourly pay VS Salary when qualifying for Mortage Posted: 04 Jan 2022 02:11 AM PST Ok so I honestly I'm not quite the "career phase" of my life yet. I'm getting there, but not quiet there yet. My question is how scrutinized will my non-salary payed job be? Will lenders ask for extra requirements because I'm hourly? [link] [comments] |
| Why would anyone hire an inexperienced real estate agent? Posted: 04 Jan 2022 01:52 AM PST I am trying to figure out how new agents begin to get experience. I cannot imagine why anyone would take the risk by hiring an inexperienced agent when they could easily go for one with experience. [link] [comments] |
| Noisy tenant upstairs, what do you do? Posted: 03 Jan 2022 10:01 PM PST What do you do when you have a noisy neighbor upstairs? Landlord isn't doing anything. In Illinois. [link] [comments] |
| Did I meet an unfriendly neighbor or am I in the wrong? Posted: 04 Jan 2022 12:44 AM PST I'm closing on an acre of vacant land in the next few weeks and I've already paid a deposit. I'm so pumped about this land: it's beautiful, I'm going to build a tiny home/cabin of some sort on it, and my dream of owning land and building from scratch is finally coming true. I have been looking at this land, which is FSBO, since July, when I got into contact with the seller. She and I have had a great communicative relationship, and throughout the last 5 or so months, she's essentially let me walk the land as I please (I'm indecisive and also a visualizer, so I need to see things to make decisions). Yesterday, after visiting the land to plan out and get excited about my upcoming build, I noticed the next door neighbor standing high on the hill of his property (adjacent to my future land) with his arms crossed just staring down at me. I walked out of the woods, gave a wave, said hello, and he just stood there staring. I threw a thumbs up, said "cool" and left because a confrontation wasn't worth the energy in 16°F weather. Now, I'm young looking, I was dressed in black skinny jeans, a hoodie with the hood up, and a ski jacket, so I may have fit the stoner/teen troublemaker stereotype (there's quite a few beer cans and bottles littered at the top of the property near the road), but I really don't think I was in the wrong here and I'm pretty upset at the first interaction I had with this new neighbor, especially because the eventual goal is to turn my tiny home into an AirBnb/rental down the line and troublesome neighbors certainly wouldn't be of benefit to that type of setup. I feel that leading with intimidation is not the best way to meet a future neighbor, or even making the assumption of trespassing (shown through the attempted intimidation) is the right way for someone to behave. Although I technically don't own anything yet, I'm under contract and have a good relationship with the current owner/seller.. so am I in the wrong, is my neighbor going to be tough, or is this a grey area? Honest opinions are welcome! [link] [comments] |
| What Should be my Strategy for Re-finance Posted: 03 Jan 2022 10:52 PM PST Bought a single family home in 2015 , did a refinance of my primary home in January 2021 from 15 to 30 years @ 2.75 , bought an other home in December 2021 with 30 years mortgage @ 2.75. I'm looking to cash out , what should be my strategy? If I do a re-fi of my 1st home ; that'll show up as an investment home and the rates might not be the same. Can't do a cash-out on my new home as it's been just a month old. Any thoughts to get the best out of it. Thanks in Advance. [link] [comments] |

| Seller doesn’t want to pay Buyers Commission or the Settlement Fees Posted: 03 Jan 2022 09:58 PM PST I really want to sell this house but I've never done it this way. Seller doesn't want to pay any commission for buyers agent and also doesn't want to pay settlement fees at closing. Seller is single mom who works too hard who loves her kids and never stops.. just kidding, I wouldn't mind listing this way she is a concerted FSBO. But would we even sell? How do you advertise that without turning so many buyers away? She's giving me a lower commission but I'm a college kid who would love to work with anyone from all walks of life while I'm getting my degree and learning. Let me know what you think, my coach isn't going to like it but I think it's best for me to accept a challenge and get business. [link] [comments] |
