Lots of brush tall brush with very high fuel loads and those areas will burn every 10 to 25 years..

From my experience, if they are not yet in the house try cleaning up the yard and getting rid off all of the places the might hang out, such as brush piles, piles of lumber ect.

Are there some static things one can look out for to predict what's coming next?

One aspect of MFR re-positioning that has always intimidated me is the rehab phase.I don't feel like I really have a good eye for aesthetics in terms of design, colors, layout, and materials.I've done cosmetic upgrades before, but they were for A-class, single-family homes, so it was fairly easy since I could just choose stuff that I already have in my own home (hand-scraped hardwood floors, granite and marble surfaces, and brushed-nickel or bronzed finishes, etc.)

@Al D.Um, OK...I suspect that what you're TRYING to express here is that working competently with concrete requires some sort of multiyear professional training and/or insurance and/or God knows what to accomplish.I would post a 3-minute YouTube video on how to use cement patcher here, but the Oberkommando der BiggerPockets won't allow it.The specialized tools necessary to work with cement patcher are a margin trowel (cost 4 dollars), a bucket (cost, 2 dollars), a chip brush (cost, under 1 dollar) and cement patcher (cost, $20 per large bucket).

Fridge, range, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer all for about $2100.We use lower-end brushed nickel fixtures (lighting and plumbing), all new registers/switches/outlets/plates, and standard 6-panel MDF doors.As for recessed lighting, the cost comes from the materials and the electrician's labor, so whether you're tearing out the ceiling or not probably won't impact the cost too much, unless you're tearing out enough sheetrock to make the wiring a lot easier.

So its just one mans experience I do not mean to paint a industry with one brush..

(some off them nice and some not) a lot off times i get asked questions that will get me in trouble with the law. unless you know the person very well he or she will just brush you off and wont give you an advice to help you with your situation.Create a relationship with your mortgage broker.

Scrub with a brush, mop up the mess, then repeat as necessary.

So long as it's not a "real" mortgage they just brush it off as irrelevant.
