If it is not spelled out in the agreement, then they're abiding by the stipulated scope and your gripe may be with an unknown expectation or one which was not ironed out from the start.

There were always prostitutes on the corner of my street when I lived in Hollywood, but ironically, no homeless people.

Ironically its the investors in the layered LLC's who believe they are hidden in the cloaks of secrecy and better protected who end up in  the most costly and drawn out litigation while giving the plaintiff attorneys reason to take a more thorough look under the hood.Keep your LLC ownership simple, carry appropriate insurance, make sure ever vendor you work with carries appropriate insurance and those who perform work functions most likely to lead to liability exposure list you ad additional insured (not merely certificate holder) and it should go without saying, avoid negligent conduct.

Ironically, platforms designed for real estate (Zillow, Apartments.com, Rentler, etc.) produce very few tenants for me, compared to FB Marketplace (and I also find a lot of their functionality to be user un-friendly, from the landlord side). ...you'd think that platforms custom-made for real estate would make the process a snap for landlords, but it takes me a lot longer to post and manage rental listings on Zillow or Rentler than it did on Craigslist.

Although we absolutely must do our comps for ARV and handle the Subs with an iron hand and blah, blah, blah....but a lot of this game is pure dumb luck.

Also funding broadway play prodctions and other irons he had in the fire. 

.✅ Any home built before 1980, likely has cast iron or clay sewer lines which will deteriorate over time.These issues can be avoided.

It’s ironic that the state is essentially leaving landlords high and dry, while at the same time calling on them to step in and help solve the housing crisis.

We have expansive soils here (clay that expands when it gets wet) as well as some older cast iron lines and even some orangeburg so it's common to see sewer line issues (often just some tree roots that need to be cleaned then the line re-scoped).

Inspections may cost more upfront, but they can save you from significant headaches and unexpected expenses down the road.Negotiate Hard: Use inspection findings as leverage.If the HVAC is near the end of its life, negotiate a credit for its replacement.If the cast iron plumbing is deteriorating and needs replacement, ask for a credit as well.Sellers often prefer negotiating credits over doing the work themselves.To give you an example: I was once under contract for an old house priced at $170,000.
