Do a little bit of "due diligence" or you may end with a toxic waste dump or a property that is "condemned" and you now have the responsibility of cleaning it up.

There is a big list of other items including cleaning the curtains they balled up & stuck in a dusty corner, repairing a panel wall where he glued about 50 metal hat hooks for his ballcaps, ripped window shades, really dirty carpet (2 dogs, 2 toddlers).

I see a metal add on dock area, I can tear out and leave open for a veranda setting, etc, etc, etc. 

I’ve met all of my private lenders at REIA meetings.

Junior-Senior year I was lucky enough to get into a welding program where I learned how to fabricate and weld steel and other metals.

It's easier to buy a clean one than to remove toxic residue.

I still feel that in removing this inventory of toxic assets from their hands investors provide a valuable service.

We found a great scrap metal guy that way - he is the first one we call now and he hauls off a lot of the bulky junk for free, including the cruddy old appliances.Andy

I have metal drives vs plastic, the wrapper looks the same but content is whole different item.

Almost sounds like the way toxic assets were created back in the day (too soon?).
