A healthy dose of "fortune favors the bold" and "fools rush in" seems to work for me.If you need anymore platitudes, hit me up. 

If you are bold enough to exercise some leadership to resolve the issue, you will naturally capture higher appraisal values as a reward.Often neighbors wait for someone else to solve problems that burden their property values.

I'll pitch the following deal for funding a property on a flyer like this with an attached photo and appraisal (if some of you more experience investors could take a look at my numbers and the scenario, I would appreciate the feedback): The bold sections are my comments to you.

my small size and eagerness to " boldly go where no man has gone before" allows me to find a   way to get into that crawl space and see what i can find. lets face it, crawl spaces, attics, roofs and " hidden areas" tell you just about everything you need to know about a house. i personally have removed an attic panel that was screwed AND glued shut just to get into the attic. 

You are my new BP hero for the "rule test" :) Can you publish that somewhere in gigantic bold neon letters so people stop comparing what they find to all the "rules"?

If they had voted for the "compromise bill" it would have also been a complete ban in fine print but at least it would not have been in bold print.
