@Austin Steed Very good observation.

My observation comes as a previous renter dating back to 2103 and a current landlord. 

From what I could see there was a small localized area in the ceiling about the size of palm where the leak was observed almost right beneath the pipe where the slow dripping was observed.One of the challenges I noticed with other people in some message boards in a similar situation is that, the roofer applies a fix and confidently tells his clients that the issue has been fixed only to see the leak coming back again looks like there is absolutely no way to determine whether a leak has been fixed or not. 

So if you have the time go see where they live and observe their car, if it is messy in side then assume they live that way . 

Today was Inspection Day......As annoying as these appointments are, the inspector come in and added a million things to my plate as he walked by leisurely pointing out his "observations".To revert my impatience and frustration, small talk was in order about his job.

As the FED lowers rates, the dollar will continue to weaken, which could accelerate inflation (assuming energy and oil prices remain stable.)What we observed this past week was the FED's surrender.

The difficulty from an investment standpoint that I have observed is that rents cap out at about $1750/mo, as this is in line with highest military stipend, thus dont meet the 1% rule. 

There are 13 states with Land Banks, the states of Michigan, Ohio and New York currently have the greatest number of active land banks.Land banks were started are designed to acquire and maintain, manage, and repurpose vacant, abandoned, and foreclosed properties –the worst abandoned houses, forgotten buildings, and empty lots then transfer them back to responsible ownership and productive use in accordance with local land use goals and priorities, creating a more efficient and effective system to eliminate blight.But from my observation the operations are seeming to change with the Lucas county Land Bank of my home town Toledo, Oh where I invest.

Its always beneficial to your journey real estate.The main challenge I observed is that individuals often lack a clear end goal or strategy or they select a market that doesn't align with their chosen strategy.

I won't rehash the good input above, but make a couple observations.
