@Lamont Glover II I've worked with a few and am liking Chemical above others.

Technically the home was known as the Malin House, but one of these sponsors was a chemical manufacturer whose resins and polymers were used in building the home, hence its nickname, “Chemosphere.”

The older parts of Baton Rouge are by the River and to the north along with a lot of the chemical plants.   

Water is an excellent solvent due to its chemical makeup.

I'm learning, so don't be too harsh on me :)  Thanks all!

I buy these places because Pittsburgh has magnificently bad weather and my business model requires that I keep them in the portfolio and running for years.Perhaps what this disaster in Texas reveals most about rental real estate investors as a group is our over-reliance on housing inspectors who tell us very little about the suitability of buildings to bear up under harsh conditions, our over-reliance on numbers analysis and ignorance of basic construction fundamentals, our over-reliance on long-distance investing business models that leave us practically helpless when things really go bad for our properties and our tenants.

Were there chemicals being used?

Harsh, but true.

Unless you are looking to build something extravagant and large with a unique design.Also, there is a LOT to consider regarding sand filter or regular filter, backwash line ran, pool pump (variable speed or single), pool heater (Gas vs electric and the kWH of the heating elements), whether doing a salt water system, something like a drinkable pool water system, or typical chlorine pool (which will often need a chemical feeder).Also dehumidification is important.

To use the word "ALWAYS" and "WILL" seems harsh.
