The bad part is that some day you might look around and wonder why you spent so many years just going thru the motions instead of trying to have something better.

No reference to landlord liability or anything, but the fact that there were extension cords and maybe not enough smoke detectors... https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Deadly-Day-Care-Fire-Erie-Smoke-Detectors-541809711.html

One time I brought in a plumber with a tool that can see where you have any water thru a meter detector 

Schedule work, contractor goes in with code, cameras detect motion and turn on. 

Relentless Forward Motion

We go door to door to deliver community newsletters, make detector batteries, surplus food (we have access to eggs and produce).  

See this in "motion" not just static numbers. 

As I suspected, inside was a motion from the tenants to set aside the default judgment.  

And this using a 203K FHA loan in the brutal market of Boston, on the east side of the Port Norfolk bay area.Facts & Numbers:2 beds & 2 baths on each of the 3 unitsPurchased for $655K @ 5% down-payment and a generous dose of 203K closing feesTaken a 30K cushion for the 203K streamlined rehabLocked in 4.25% @ 30 year interest rateAppraised at 750KThe numbers are certainly not the exquisite definition of what a ground-breaking deal stands for, but they certainly fare decently well in this seller's market where cash investors rule, the inventory is constantly challenged and most properties are getting sold for over asking price, taking advantage of the current interest rates, the Everett Casino construction, and a few other speculative but pragmatic plays.Just like most everyone else that was not raised or surrounded by real estate professionals from a young age, this deal was pretty much riddled with small mistakes here and there, from neglecting the fire department smoke and carbon detector regulations, being over-optimistic on the underwriting guidelines, underestimating the cost opportunity due to all sorts of processing delays, and you name it.Currently free from tenants, the expectation is to add value by rehabilitating the under-developed basement, adding 2nd and 3rd floor balcony decks, and a variety of practical and aesthetic fixes.

For the most part they are looking at safety issues such as making sure all fire/smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning and interconnected where if one goes off so do the rest.
