Those didn't uncover anything, either.

Do get the building treated.Also, have the building inspected to help you uncover where the damage is.  

A simple screening would have uncovered previous felonies, crappy credit, bad job history, no Landlord references, etc.

Again, hence why BiggerPockets is so big.In the long run, you rinse and repeat this process and you will not only become a local expert, you will uncover deals at a rate that exceeds the folks looking for the easy "secrets" and expect everything to be handed to them pre-packaged with a bow on top.Are you going to make mistakes!?

Once you the buyer have a chance to uncover the rest of the story, only then do you have a peek at all the information.  

What is so nice about the episode is it gives a nice simple overview of different ways real estate can and does work. 

The seller was an old man who seemed so nice and told stories of all his memories in the home during closing.

It's another touch point to let them know I am serious.I'm running out (taking my son Ice Fishing) if you need anything else please don't hesitate to reach out.PS just saw you are from Long Beach I am originally from queens out by JFK.

So as others have mentioned, the water company may give you a break on the bill and reiterate to your PM to notify you as soon as she uncovers a problem but if it was just a matter of swapping a flapper and it turned into a black swan event, well, just got to suck this one up.

You can't always be so nice to some people, unfortunately.
