No fire pits, bonfires, tiki torches, fireworks, or other outdoor open flames may be used or stored on the Premises.

If you can spend more, you could use composite lumber or engineered lumber which can be more resistant

LVP flooring is not waterproof or even very water resistant just so you know.

This is because insurance proceeds are the path of least resistance in terms of collection (more on this below).

File in the BK court pro per if you must.I have seen lots of (and invested in many) syndications that do not end in flames.

It may be a gas furnace that has a flame in the basement and that heat eventually rises through the ducts to the 2nd floor.

Although there is sometimes resistance, he rarely complains because he’s making so much money!

I’m sure that part of my resistance is due to the fear of making a bad deal as well.

The elections are going to be pivotal, but the lid is off things are going to star trading under Q2, if they are not already, shortly and you'll have resistance until  folks see Q3 earnings.

If they put up any sort of resistance, that could be a cue to start digging a little deeper and documenting a bit more thoroughly (hence the doorbell camera coverage tip I put first - installing the cameras right away and then having the new lease conversation with the tenants afterward is very easy to frame as "I'm just a new owner putting some TLC into the property and doing my due diligence on the leases/tenants"; talking to your residents first, finding out they have extra people living there who aren't on the lease, and then installing cameras around the property could set you up for a very adversarial relationship with your inherited tenants).
