Could costs $10s of thousands just to clean it up the toxic waste. 

You don't want to turn the toxic preserves into vapors.Those landscape timbers will last close to 30 years.

You touched on the toxicity of constant consumption of social media/news and this goes hand in had with that.

Mostly, this was not an issue except it irritated me that he couldn't be available for people to do the work consistently.

Hello everyone,For quite some time I have been thinking about entering the real estate game, with a goal in mind, that I will be able to free up my time to spend it with my family, as well as work from home and be able to build my dream business with the help of real estate.An I think it is the right time for me to do so, here is why:My older daughter got in to college and we are relocating from CA to MA in September-November, she will study on campus at Amherst, but we want to get our first property after paying rent to someone for to long.My idea was to get a small multifamily, but clean environment like no landfills, no toxics, good water and air was a bigger priority for my family, so we are thinking to have a small, under 50-100k starter house that needs some work done, but has no exterior problems, has all the pipes and electric work in place.

@Jim K.Firstly Roundup glyphosate poses environmental toxicity and there are some studies that indicate that it has carcinogens.Secondly, I may end up inviting a fight with my neighbor.Lastly as indicated I am really vexed with this new tenant with her 10,000 complaints ever since she moved in 7 days back,for example when she sees a one off centipede outside her door in the backyard she immediately asks me to call an exterminator....so the list goes on and on..I wouldn't say its contempt but it's a PITA to deal with such tenants especially after a great tenant that left you.

As its owner, there were elements of this house that always irritated me.

Again no female cats as their urine is borderline toxic and a very hard smell to get rid of. 

A wet basement is not only smelly but can lead to bigger problems like structural damage, and toxic mold that is hazardous to your health.
