I explained to him before signing the agreement that I will have to place a lock box on the house as my partners and I will have to get in and out on to get estimates, photos, ect.He wanted me to sign a release of liability for that release him of all incidents that may occur to me while inside the home.

What I learned from this little incident was to just go directly thru the listing agent, but that still doesn't solve my problem of getting the sellers to accept my bids.The first thing I thought was maybe my offers are too low, so on my last i really dialed in and was a precise as I could be.

Many people would not want to detail an incident in which they were scammed.

Maintaining 2 houses now is fine but over time you will face larger construction issues and not just from major incidents but from normal use.

I really hope everything has been resolved and I won't be dealing with any backlash from this incident post-closing.2.

Now is March, can I file claims for incidents that happened months earlier?

I had a quote done and its about $30-60k in total damages.I understand that home insurance only covers water damage/foundation damage if its caused by a sudden incident such as a fallen tree or strong storm.

At $150 the profits are too small to really be worth the money invested, the effort, and the potential incidents that may exceed the 50% expense ratio you're budgeting for.

I honestly don't know much at all about that area, other than Ferguson is in that zip code, which is where the Michael Brown incident occurred. 

According to the FBI crime rate sheet, Memphis has double the violent crime than a majority of other major cities (ex. 1082 recorded violent crime incidents per 100k people in Memphis, compared to 533 in KC Metro).
