And just like so many Bigger Pockets Podcasts and books, I will read and reread until it becomes muscle memory. 

I should have brought my muscle with me (boyfriend and or a 38 preferably the latter).One building, way in the back of the whole complex, needs total rehab, however I don't think that was part of the package.

This misses the point.I'm thinking along the lines of being the muscle behind an out of town flip in order to earn big returns.

Capital allocation discussions are akin to the finer points of sets and reps for one muscle group.  

If you need some legal muscle, let me know.Jen

It is the moment that you learn to push through the resistance that builds strength, muscle, and heart.  

From your original post and replies above, it sounds like you’re on the right track though: let your attorney flex some muscle with the seller/flipper/contractor, and continue to raise hell with the building department, city complaint line, or even local politicians and news outlets.

and keep building your risk muscles...
