Has a list of people waiting to rent there and is getting $675 per unit. 2 years ago one of the tenants left the gas stove on with food cooking and it burned down the 3rd unit, due to insurance reasons he had to remove the building pad as well after demo.

One of the reasons why I feel they were cooking the books and inflating costs.

Hello everyone, good day,This post is for some advice and feedback into how best to invest $10k in real estate and to share some ideas for critique.We have been building our investing cash pot for a while and we are at $10k, we have one house currently which is our homestead with approx. $100k in equity, great mortgage rate at 3.7 and if rented would yield approx. $200 dollars on top of what our mortgage payment is.

@Josh Cook- Metro is at the top of my list right now.

I've never seen this layout before, and would think that there should be some buffer if a boiling pot of water spills over. 

The best treatment is to cook the house by heating it to 300 degrees for a few hours.

Where I am going with this is that if the fire was tenant negligence with cooking, then their renters insurance may pay.

These people focus on pots, not wires.Thanks, Mike.

Same reason people go to restaurants vs cook at home.
