With yard debris, I went onto "as needed" basis, and got the biggest can, and I put about 100 holes in it, so it would dry out and I could put more in. 

@Joe Splitrock thank you for your clarification on the lease break, sounds like it hopefully will be a pretty cut and dry scenario as long as there was no communication between the property managment company and the tenants.

Most of the old warehouses vacant and for sale for $1 around here are really tough locations so spending millions to upgrade an old building to be in a C or D class area is not that enticing.My family used to own a large warehouse for dry ice production and distribution as the neighborhood turned to crap between the 1950's and 1980's they moved into a bigger building in a nicer part of town. 

This leaves the seller high and dry and having to start over again.

I get calls and postcards for properties I own but what gets me is they keep calling me on 3 whispering pine dr,  I don't own nor have I ever owned this property.

I’m looking to start doing my “dry reps” as David Greene calls it, so when I do get my down payment saved, I will be able to quickly evaluate a BRRRR deal.I plan on looking through homes for sale in my area and running the numbers on them to see how they pan out.

Usually, the excessive moisture is caused by a leak in the plumbing system underneath the floors and it is usually a hot water pipe leaking.I am a contractor and sometimes I find that the clothes dryer vent is broken somewhere and all the steam coming from the clothes as they dry is going inside the house and collecting on the cool glass windows.You can hire a contractor to look for a leak, or you can purchase a hydrometer online.

A property I am interested in purchasing had some extensive repairs - water leak from roof resulted in wood rot.  

The joists and studs were extremely waterlogged, rotting and covered in mold.

A house, temple, or palace was built, it stayed until it was rotting around your ears, and then you tore down the bad parts and rebuilt it.
