@Alan Faitel Probably the reason the last 7 property inspectors we used wrote the worst things possible about the property IN BOLD RED CAPS!!

I know the process is significantly more intense if the current paint contains lead.The kit I used is supposed to turn red in the presence of lead. 

She just learned old buildings, specifically your old building, might have lead, HUGE RED SIRENS flashed in her protective-mommy brain, and she backed out without a second's hesitation. 

How does that not set off red flags?

It is big goes from East of Dallas to Waskom and from Red River to the Bay of Mexico!!  

But I know that fortune favors the bold, so I was looking for some thoughts on this cycle.

If any property owner is more experienced than I was at the time, s/he will consider your request as a red flag....

From my experience with Airbnb, most guests that I have booked my place are usually here for a show at Red Rocks, hang with friends, downtown drinks/dinner, mountain trip, etc. 

Short sale means the seller would be in the red if they were to sell the home.  

The question I'll be trying to answer tomorrow is this -- if my purchase price at auction is higher than what the lender and IRS are cumulatively owed, does the additional money above making the lender whole go towards satisfying the IRS lien -- thus putting out that red flag fire either way?
