Naturally, you think they are talking to you, and when you ask them “What?”

We as investors naturally think of a duplex as a two unit building. 

Then the market sprang to life, 10 years later, went up to $100K again, I sold and did ok.But the roof was the original roof from the high school, and naturally no one checked the roof.

Nature of rentals I feel. 

My father and I own a housing foreclosure business and a property inspection business, but the foreclosure business is bleak right now due to the nature of the market, so minimal leads. 

But remember this person just went through a natural disaster is in a very vulnerable state, please be ethical.

I know this, but the seller is a hard head and I don't want to rely on a difficult seller to make my 1031 transaction a success.So my question is, are there any 'force majeure' clauses that kick in to extend the 45 day selection period given there was a natural disaster in the area?  

My first thought would be just simply converting everything that uses Oil to Natural gas, even if I am still paying for those utility bills.

Like natural causes, angry spouse, murderous house (like that other one), etc...or just that someone died?

However may be much easier trying model of that nature.
