I am still in hunting and gathering mode.

In many areas ED is used for condemnded properties, at what point is a property so unmaintained that it presents a true health or safety issue to the public and government can take it and do what it will?

When I told him what model I wanted (the same that I use in my investments properties that can be bought at Home Depot for $99), he quoted me $377.65 to replace it.I tried to keep a straight face when I asked him how long it would take to do the work, and he said about 30 minutes.

We deal with those and our insurance and safety overseers demand we have a 3 mile escape plan.

I could likely get 750/month.One down side: this would require an exterior stair (at one of the dormers)......so I'd also appreciate your thoughts on such stairs as a safety/ability issue.

Our safety net programs allow people to do zero work and have a standard of living that is well above half of the worlds population.

An adjustment would have to be considered for the location on the busy street; similar down adjustments would be made for location next to industrial property, next to train tracks, with a freeway running behind the property (a fence can allow separation for safety, but won't reduce the noise by much), etc.

The inspectors are looking for safety things like smoke detectors and GFI's.
