More often than not, you can look at the house and quickly determine if it will exhaust the policy limits aka is a total loss.

Turned out the tenant's brother-in-law had replaced the washing machine and didn't use a clamp down the washing machine water exhaust hose.

Newer, higher efficiency gas water heaters and furnaces do not require a chimney or a 4" metal vent (which is really chimney, possible with a vent in the same pipe); they can be both vented and exhausted through the side of the house.

@Brandon Turner Editing would be the hardest and most exhaustive format...Maybe have 2...keep the original Biggerpockets format, finely edited and produced...and one "uncut" version where it has more free flowing thoughts and dialogue.

Due diligence on your part will be exhausting but the funds are out there but it certainly is time consuming.

are you: Under Water, Probate, Pre-foreclosure, Liens and High repairs, exhausted land lords or ugly is Ok!

Your fence should be sturdy enough to withstand a dog jumping on it. if it's not then it's a junk and should be repaired.

Weekend trips had to be kept short and I might as well have not even owned a bicycle because I hardly ever got out to ride (or hike or surf or whatever fun) just because weekends were the only time to do it and by then I was exhausted from working all week.

Potential superfund sites not withstanding, if you can't see yourself writing a check for at least the cost-to-cure amount, I'd leave it off your hit list.On the other hand, the objective is to generate leads that you will later vet and qualify at some point once they enter your sales funnel.

Not only can they include verbiage to protect your purchase transaction, they can also verify that proper procedures have been followed, proper Notices given, and letters testamentary have indeed been issued; which means that those with standing to object have been given their opportunity to do so, and either agreed to the sale, or their objections have been quashed.I am perhaps more sensitive to the importance of using counsel whenever dealing with probate purchases because I lost significant capital on a $2.5 million purchase literally at closing when one of the previously unnamed beneficiaries served an injunction to stop the sale.
