Could have been a visiting child.

I went through the same thing a while back where I ended up with over $100k in debt, overdue mortgage payments and child support to pay.

@Lauren Cutchen Bought a house where the sellers child had scratched his name into the stainless steel fridge door.

I have lived in (with a small child) and own multiple pre-1978 homes that most likely had lead paint in them.

Sub fields in the applications are called "child fields" WTF is that supposed to mean?

Just think, if that was YOUR child, living with vermin.

I tried to stay out of the way, but I had to stop several things from being done wrong—spaces between kitchen cabinets that were too small by at least an inch for the appliances to fit, a walk-in pantry being built that was too narrow for anyone but a child to get into.

They don't care and they'll say its your fault putting their child in danger.

If you are looking at buying small businesses I would target the ones that baby boomers own, many of them are retiring and looking to sell their business as a retirement plan.

Your goal of buy and hold and flipping so soon seems very difficult, especially with a young child (our first is due in January).
