take that fire hose of knowledge and drink up as much as you can.

Not a deal breaker because sometimes its a 500 or less seal job , other times its a 10k wall anchor or hydraulics some foundation problems can create great opportunity because the general rule is "stay away".  

Also have the observation that the area is slowly improving due to many hoses are getting rehabbed or new are getting constructed. 

A shed , my string mower push mower and weedeater and riding mower evaporated in thin air The property also had a new well with two pumps in a nice lil heated insulated shed And a double carport I guess the tornado (them) that destroyed the mobile carried off well house and carportOf course they said they wouldn't do us that way it had to of been someone else And all the trash on back bank of pond wasn't from them.......oh I forgot to mention a bit of a kitchen fire and I guess before the two 4ft outside hydrants and hoses evaporated they put the fire out with one of them Water makes your garden plants swell and grow If you water MH floors enough they do toWe sold that lil jewel with land at a wonderful loss and when I drive by it it disgusts me The bright side is now there are several crappy MH's and lots and lots of junk the guy who bought it was helping his grandson a doper Well I should have learned several lessonsI ain't related to anyone and I am not in the business to help you outHope you enjoyed this

It looks like I'll be drinking from a fire hose for a while!

Also I state no baby pools or car washing and remove all hoses.

I don't now much about this market, but the house looks like it may be vinyl siding, so a mold or mildew remover (even with just a hose/ brush) might help. 

You will find this community can literally feel like a fire hose to the face! 

So much valuable information and resources to glean...I'm drinking from the fire hose!

If I convince a neighbor to let me use his hosebib, and I drag a garden hose across to a hosebib of the subject house, and hook it up...turn on the neighbor's hosebib, and thus filled the supply system of the subject house with water pressure, is that considered "ACTIVATING"?
