Yes, because you have to cover treads and risers, cut around obstructions (posts, molding), and make sure everything is secure enough that the stairs are safe.

Maybe I'm wrong, but considering I wouldn't be paying 2 mortgages, water bills, insurance ect. wouldn't it be safe to assume I could purchase a property with a slimmer profit margin?

@Patrick Philip there is a lot of legal jargon in them to keep you and him completely safe.

There's a "rare" case of the property owner declaring bankruptcy before the day of the sale... you can lose your entire bid amount that way... that's atleast what a lawyer stated in a consultation.3) you call the IRS lien department they can fax you a paper document stating if there is a lien or not its best to have this - unsure about the 120 days start date but we can safely assume it starts once the sale occurs or the date its switched legally in the clerk systems.4) State specific - FL the mortgage is wiped out and all liens (excluding municipality liens)5) No they're giving you a "tax-deed" - see my recently purchased tax-deed below (it may look a bit different after the county officially enters it in their systems which happens around 10 days afterward in FL).6) it depends on how your state does their tax-deeds if it has an online system you can literally see the mailings that have occurred and you'll know if the proper procedures were taken.

There is not enough history or medical science behind e-cigarettes to state they are 100% safe.

Since the sill plates are affected, it’s safe to assume some wall studs may also be damaged.If the property is not worth much more then the purchase price, personally I would walk away.

Those being: safe, structurally sound, and sanitary.

Be safe.

The reason he asked was there's a high end, and low end appraisal depending on what you need it for.Now, if it's intra-family, and you're getting it below market, to play it safe, do the sale based on the appraised amount, and have the difference handled as a gift.

The RE market is still going up, and would say safe to Dec'18.
