I hear he's afraid of electric razors!

I’d be cautious dealing in that type of property even if you had experience, a nice cash reserve as a safety net and a bank lined up which it doesn’t sound like you do.

I am a addict when it comes to deals and look several times a day in my local market and missed some great deals how ever in my market I would suggest a duplex because in my city everyone works at the heart of it and the land here is just used up so its prime rentals either way I go home value has shot up as there is just no more land to build on unless you go out of town so SFH are overly priced so its a ruff cash flow, for me   I will be doing a duplex for following reasons 1 more doors = more safety if a moves out b is still helping to cover my payment 2 its still 1 roof 3 I control the value of said property if I really make it diamonds = raising the rent to the cap it controls the value of said property.

When finally installing the fire alarm system, the inspector still won't lift the cease order because of the CO issue (and after hearing each time, it was all about people's safety).

I don't want to retrade the deal, but this is also a life safety concern that probably will need to be dealt with whether we close or not. 

The building inspector came and recently shut the building down for health/safety reasons by turning off all the gas to each unit.

Since they are concerned about their safety and want to leave anyways, it will be a perfect opportunity to replace them.

Then I either get better than average rents or I'll sell it.First I repair/replace things, if needed, that cause more damage (to property or life) if they fail, roof, water heater, plumbing & electrical... anything health and safety related. 

Often times, adult care homes are modified with ramps, railings, and other special safety equipment to cater to the needs of the tenants.

personally I would have replaced it 5’hears agoI would not tempt having mold either for my safety nor my customer’s (renter’s) safety
