If you do a group effort with someone on BP I would love a chance to photo document.

He told us because the previous inspector took photos of the house so he needs to stop working and keep things the same before the next inspection, which we find hard to believe.

IF (big IF) you do get a letter or call from an attorney, let them know the bill is owed by the tenant, and if pushed, you intend to counter sue for excessive damages and report the drug paraphernalia/evidence of use to the local drug enforcement agency.We are talking about a small-claims court issue at best, and personally (I am not an attorney) I would keep all timelines, damages, photos, expenses and communications in a file. 

@John Thedford Can't see photo.

Now, we're not talking an 18 foot deep high dive pool down there...it might be 1" - 2" deep (but, I'm still trying to decipher the photo from my inspector and get a hold of him).It also (oddly) looks to be on top of a sheet of plastic.

If it's basic day to day items, and if you don't store tons of photos / videos on it, anything with 8GB of ram would be sufficient in today's market.

Take a look at some photos below to see some of the things you should be prepared for if you engage in investing in these blighted areas.

You can visit the Louisville Woodword facebook page for photos and more info.

Unless there's something I'm not seeing in the photos, the problems you have moving the property are clearly not due to the property itself. 

In your shoes, post notice on the door and take a photo with your phone (timestamp proof) and also leave a message on their voicemail, indicating your intent to enter to do roof work at XX time on XX day.
