If I'm in the wrong forum, please redirect me.I recently purchased a 1920s rowhouse, ~1600 sq ft, in the DC area as a "live-in fixer upper", and I intend to renovate it, rent out the basement, and hopefully sell it in a few years.

Best case scenario is all the liens are redeemed and you can simply redirect them to additional liens, over and over again.

@Ming Lim, @Chris SomervilleIf you are dropping off door knockers or letters with the intention of purchasing properties for yourself, there are no legal issues ... even if the property is under an agency agreement with a realtor (the owner would just redirect you to the realtor).If you are canvassing for properties with the intention of finding a buyer other than yourself, then you are wandering into the grey area of wholesaling versus agency (which requires a licence).

I redirected the downspouts to go away from the building as a precaution too.Below is the camera I'll renthttps://www.homedepot.com/tool-truck-rental/Therma...

A French drain prahaps or another way to redirect the water? 

Definitely going to take your advice and redirect my focus.  

The simple fact of redirecting your spending from rent to a mortgage is huge.Last month I helped a client close on a 270k condo near downtown.

I would definitely pursue the other quotes for the fire escape option as per @Dennis M.Taking out kitchens, baths, the old electrical panel, meter & redirecting the wiring could get expensive.

couldn’t be more grateful for the re-direction!  

Reflection is giving yourself a bit of CREDIT for what you accomplished that day or giving yourself a break from what you didn't accomplish that day, instead redirecting to the overall upward trend of your life as well as a few affirmations.
