The rest of the phrase made sense when I walked into the house and discovered the floors all buckled due to water lines erupting under the floor.

It's a character trait and mindset of the shady with property IMO.Corporate slumlords are the worst and not on here sharing  They are also the biggest reason anti landlord laws get passed and tenant-minded protests erupt. 

That stuff will eat your hands right off your wrists Thats basically Sulfuric acid , if you do use it watch out for eruptions .Have a towel ready to cover the drain . 

People will leave the destroyed and contaminated areas and have to live elsewhere driving prices up in the "in" migratory areas.If a solar flare occurred like the "Carrington Event" in 1859, the results would be the same.If the Cascadia fault erupts (which is projected to be a 9.0 earthquake and is now over due) Seattle, Portland and Vancouver real estate prices will drop dramatically along with the destruction of large parts of the cities.The New Madrid fault is over due for an earthquake and depending on the severity could have similar results.For these reasons and others, I choose to invest "Subject To" for "cash flow" in safe real estate backed investments spread over four states to minimize my exposure and I take my "equity up front" and invest that in various other commodities.And, the sun will rise tomorrow and I will be prepared for any eventuality.

If you haven't already, have your units inspected regularly and try to anticipate replacement needs so they don't erupt suddenly as a crisis. 

It seems like a purchasing frenzy is ready to erupt if housing market variables change. 

I was reading this article that says, the eruption, if happens, most likely won't reach Seattle but then again, it may. https://geology.com/usgs/raini...People are still moving to Seattle and not sure if I should be considering this potential natural calamity into consideration.

They stepped in for a lot of investors when the whole Oceanpointe fiasco erupted and helped them navigate a difficult situation.

They were very patient at start right, and only after the whole string of things did these frustrations erupt. 

Now that Mauna Loa has erupted, what's the property insurance company going to do if the lava hits a residential area like Hilo?
