I had a similar situation, where I replaced an air handler in the attic and I told the tech to get precise measurements because he needs to make sure the handler will fit between the trusses because I don't want any trusses to be notched.

Many even have a fire in their history - charred floor joists or roof trusses are dead giveaways.

haha I don't listen to Sean Hannity, though I have heard some of Don Bongino's show and he actually has the BALLS to stand up for American freedom, and we should support his free speech.

The house had several floor joists and trusses in the attic that were cut through in order to run venting and pipes that needed to be shored up, some rotted subflooring that was discovered in the bathroom, some drywall needed to be replaced, the whole house was repainted, added a water softener due to the hard water from the well leading to discoloration of the tub, and upgraded the fixtures to make it look nicer.

I later find out that as he's giving me almost-daily updates of "I pulled the permits today" and "The trusses were ordered today from ____, they'll be here in 2 weeks."

Thieves look for the red tag on the meter and then they go in and strip the home.Our average tenant timeframe in those areas were about 8-9 months and double the staff time to deal with all their issues of month to month life, so from my experience unless you want another job of adult daycare those are the things you are going get coming down your funnel of fun.We ended up selling all of ours in that area and we do not even manage them because it was just too time intensive and problematic.I have done many speech's and had many conversations with investors about when I did "My Time" in the South-East.

My name is Christie and I'm a speech-language pathologist by trade, but I will soon be supplementing by taking all that I'm learning here at BP and purchasing my first property within the next year.  

The important part you didn't state, is if this bathroom is on a slab, or if the subfloor is plywood over trusses. 

I can not be sure from your vague description of the cracks but since you are in a cold climate area what you are most likely experiencing is truss heave.

I will forward your advice to the lawyer partner and curb my speech accordingly.
