@Jacob Sampson Probably the same SOCAL overall areas lead in all possibilities good or bad just from a sheer human volume point, but maybe not per capita.  

Right now you really want to focus on enhancing your human capital ( and college) but along the way, like summers and down time, I would really read all you can on real estate strategies (be it flips or buy and holds) and even think about some hands on work if you have access (relatives in the industry, summer jobs, etc) to an opportunity (even as a laborer on a crew)..

It's great but I just have a few questions like if there was poop (human) in the toilets and they were smelling and if there was cat, rabbit, dog etc poop all over the house floors and objects; urine over everything, what would you use to sanitize it or to kill the smell and probably pathogens so that you can start cleaning? 

--by the time escrow closed, I was a landlord.imho, Robinson handles the human side of landlording well (along with technical and legal issues), while Nolo is the gold standard for in-depth, up-to-date legal stuff.Meanwhile, do get your head examined.

Finding a nest of rare animals is astonishing.Finding human remains or similar situation is creepy.

"How to Sabotage Your Human's Podcasts" by Charlie Barken

Not only do I want someone to look for mold I want an expert on how to mitigate the issues and be held to warranties/guarantees.You might want to ask your experienced Real estate attorney if he or she can recommend one as they see so many parts and pieces of inspection reports they often can steer you away from some bad ones.In my honest opinion NEVER use one recommended by a Realtor...Hope that helps...Ps; Remember they are human but they are getting paid to do a thorough/ethical/honest (well at least one that fulfills the contract you sign with them "hence read it ask questions before signing it" inspection for YOU!

Sometimes people forget that we are human beings with families to support.Do have a buyer's agency agreement or not is an interesting question for which there are countless possible answers.

If your business entities and trust(s) are properly structured, your history as a past owner does not have an impact when someone is seeking to find the human behind the owner(s) of any specific property, as far as I know.

Once you are absolutely certain nothing downstream is the cause (human or plumbing), then you have a more solid case to ask for the meter to be changed.On a side note:  Around here if you go to the municipality/utility in a humble tone as ask for their assistance in solving the riddle (show them that you have invested the effort to check everything downstream), they will often forgive most/all of the overage.
