Meanwhile the home is ruined with structural alterations, illegal wiring, mold problems, the works.

Crescent was originally established as a timber and land holding company for Duke Energy, which ultimately translated into significant real estate holdings in Charlotte — including what will become River District — after Crescent spun out of the utility company.When Crescent and Lincoln Harris first unveiled their vision for River District in 2016, the land was completely undeveloped and heavily wooded.

As I said the lease that is in place is not even remotely close to something I'd use and the only language in there about any alterations are only in regards to the building itself or "construct any building or make other improvements on the demised premises without the prior written consent of Lessor."

They look at some on line pictures from 3 years ago and decide to bid.At one tax sale bidders were stumbling all over each other to buy a house that had burnt to the ground the weekend before but they didn't know it.At one sale somebody bought an Army bombing range, lots of luck with that one.At one sale a row house's 3 story back wall was in the back yard, people were competing to bid on it obviously never having seen the back of the house.At one sale of a nice suburban house, the owner occupant had removed all the electric wiring cutting holes in walls and ceiling everywhere in the house, because he felt electricity was altering his brain.At one sale roof leaked for maybe as much as 7 years, but the flat roof could not be seen from the ground, hardwood floors were heaved as much as 1 foot and mushrooms were growing in the all to wall carpet. 

The bank's addendum will pin down the inspection interval to whatever the bank deems as their standard, and the bank is unlikely to alter their addendum.

Translation: if you are providing meals to the employees in order to keep them working late, working weekends, or being on call, it is for your convenience to have them at work and the meal is a means of enticement.

All of this on-the-ground experience translated into constructing those systems necessary for smooth and efficient operating. 

Similar to managing IT, many of the same ideology translates the same way.

The multiple trips you made, the window units that didn't work, and the new condenser that froze, to you seems like lots of extra effort and trips to make things work and should have earned points towards "effort" and "bending over backwards", to your tenants those are just a demonstration of wasted time and effort translating into incompetence and carelessness. 

That change can alter my growth strategy and increase the risks substantially.
