Hello all, my name is Ben Latusek and I am a real estate investor and owner of Synergy Property Management. I own, manage, and operate out of the Des Moines, Iowa metropolitan area. I have a real passion for real esta...

someone local will probably get it.again... just trying to be realistic. 

The difference between a safety line and a safety net is that a safety net (your words) can break one line and still hold a fish. 

My concern is whether the city could deny permits for these modifications, such as removing walls or converting a garage, or if they are mainly just concerned with safety and habitability.

Hoarding becomes a violation when it presents a fire hazard or other safety issue, attracts pests, or potentially damages the property.

We would do a safety check and enter the property.

I guess for me the dividing line is does it damage the function or cause a safety hazard if I leave it on the tenant.  

EspritHave you checked with a local architect on this?

He has no safety net so I don't think its wise to take the risk because if he did a deal, lost disability and then since hes brand new to REI lets say it takes a while until he gets his next deal I just want to help advise him best!

Hey all! Is anyone interested in having a meet up in the GTA/Brampton Mississauga area?
