It's called "Strict Liability" and is the real teeth of the lead paint laws in MA. 

I was pumped – I was going to get some money to compensate me for my extra holding costs…but wait, come to find out, the escrow agreement they had signed really didn’t have any teeth to it or clearly give me the right to collect money if the previous owner took longer than the 30 days.

Also don't jump too quickly and make sure that you cut your teeth on some deals with limited downside to you.

But for various reasons, it tends to have more "teeth" when the seller initiates it.

Well during the hearing the tenant was lying threw her teeth on every issue.

As I have said in other post- I cut my teeth by removing 5 hardened, professional tenants.

So much so, I'm thinking I should cut my teeth on US property first, then explore the foreign property game.

As often as not we get kicked in the teeth for doing so. 

After a few years of this first property and cutting my teeth, I would like to move onto a larger apartment complex.Open to meet fellow investors both local and long distance, commercial brokers, and PMs.   

As easy as this sounds, it's not simple and usually like pulling teeth.
