This house will be acquired on the behalf of a friend that would wish to live in the neighborhood that this house is located. I would make sure she knows that she will be responsible for all of the utilities including water/sewage. Since the gas line will be capped, and there will be solar panels installed on the roofs – this should reduce the electricity bill, and eliminate the gas bill to make the water bill more palpable. The house will be a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom with a living room, and a kitchen.
The office will be located in the basement of the house as that is the only space I could place the office, and each one of my 1BR+ apartments will have to have an office to meet my standards. In the office, there will be the communications closet. Since I already know that her ISP and TV provider will be Xfinity, I would get her a DOCISS modem, and connect the TV LAN to the Xfinity WAN. This will get her setup quickly and easily. Since she only qualifies for a 1 Bedroom, I will have to eat some of the rent and reduce the rental price to a 1BR house.
Even though this is for a friend of mine, I would still expect her to keep business separate from personal. If she has a problem at 2AM, she should call the realty office, and leave an emergency voicemail for the maintenance. I don’t know as much as I would like about the neighborhood, but I am sure she will appreciate this effort. Since this is for a friend of mine, this will be one of the first locations that would be renovated to meet my standards.
