But I'm going to let you guys handle the artillery barrages, I'm going to just remain in my standard sharp shooters seat (My deck chair next to the hot tub, or sometimes even in the hot tub) answering what I know best about- however many or few those questions are.Right now all of this is just-Smoke on the water.

I just had a guest check in and the ceiling fan blade (less than a month old) fell off and hit him in the head (no injuries or anything) but they would like me to come take a look at it.  

Start saving for your next deal after you have cleared the decks of your old debt.

The concept is to convert one or more shipping containers (the containers transported on the decks of those massive cargo ships) into a home.

-Has no crawlspace (common for older properties) so we couldn't see the foundation-Drywood termite/wood decaying fungi damage seen on all the windows/doors/parts of the beam on the exterior, parts of roof decking and rafters in the attic-Old leaks/moisture damage seen in the ceilings and attic-Parts of the roof has patch work-Roof doesn't have any permits on record (don't know how old it is)Seller's offer to me:-Fumigation treatment for drywood termites (tenting the house)-Replace and repair all damage wood throughout the house-Replace the entire roof with a new permit-Replace one window in every room (not all)-Pay for a structural engineer to inspect the foundation-Offer to get quotes for repairs and have a 15-20K budget to make all repairs, house is 500K.

For example, a lake house we looked at was quite small, great view of the lake but access was steep and rutted.Before we passed on the place (due to structural issues on a 3 story deck) I had a local guy out to give me a quote on grading and paving.

One guest smoked on the deck.

If you are interested in screening the porch, you can get aluminum screening which is more resistant to box cutters and switch blades then the standard fiberglass cheapy screens if you want.

I just built a deck at my personal residence and the permitting process wasn't terrible, but it took about 2 weeks to review my initial plans, and then another week to approve and issue the permit.
