I only look for real wood items, no pressed wood junk, I may sand it and stain it, I may put chalk boards on the fronts and sides, maybe granite on the top, I do not go out an purchase these for full retail.

Even when pressed for customized tax planning advice, he could or would not deliver.

You will be hard pressed to find anything under $200k currently and if that's going to be used as a down payment, you'll have to see if your son qualifies for a loan if you want him to be sole owner. 

On a four-plex you should have four boilers, four hot water heaters and with no reserves you will be hard-pressed for a solution when something goes wrong.

You'll be hard pressed to find any deals in northern liberties.  

I was able to recover most of the item, but much of the damage (stolen electrical fixtures, mirrors, gate, etc. was removed (some of witch broken) and thus had to be re-installed or replaced).I could have pressed charges in this instance, but was happy to just get the keys and the occupants out of my hair, plus, in the heat of the moment, it slipped my mind to have them arrested.As for other cases, so far to date, I have been able to arrange cash for keys and avoid such problems.In your scenario outlined, it would be tough to prove the case.

If the numbers worked out based on that scenario, I wouldn't do anything else.Now, if the numbers didn't work out based on that scenario, or if the house were older than 20 years, I would either take Curt's advice and turn the utilities on myself or I would press the listing agent to get them turned on.Btw, in each of my last 4 rehabs, I've had multiple burst pipes that I didn't know about until the house was mine (including one under the slab).

I realize this question may not be the pressing issue of the week but if a tenant overflowed the tub while filling it up and water came through the first floor ceiling, what is the normal landlord action to take?

I think all US paper currency will be outlawed in the next 3 years (some story about the Chinese selling $ quality printing presses to N Korea that make better currency than we do).
