Inspect often and charge for damages as they occur.  

There is a lot of fraud that occurs via Craigslist.  

Here is a semi comprehensive list of Dodd Frank regs..Disclaimer:The information contained in this information is based on the research of Brian Gibbons through several sources and is not to be relied on for any transactions occurring anywhere without consulting your attorney.

Why would one occur and not the other?

Unless it is the Landlord’s stipulation that Landlord’s other tenants were somehow at fault for the breakage of their window, Landlord cannot find this Tenant at fault for the breakage, which occurred while Tenant was off-site.

Probably wouldn't have occurred to me to do this should I run into a similar situation.

That would involve sources in the common hallways, common mechanical chase, at the elevators, near windows at the end of the hallway, etc.I agree with Steven that the owner above or a neighbor to the side would be liable if the mold was caused by something that occurred in their spaces.As for saleability of the condo, I'd say that so long as you remove it in a safe manner and have some kind of documentation that it was done by professionals who stand by their work (and carry general liability and environmental liability insurance) then the fact that mold was there at one time should NOT be an issue affecting the sales price.Good luck.Travis W.

As I do understand the interest rate will be higher, I figured this is the equivalent of having to deal with closing cost and other fees that occur when taking on a mortgage and I could use that "cash" to pay it down if we decide to sit on a house for a while.As this is my plan right now, we all know things change, and if they do I'll be sure to reach out to the BP community and ask for their advice.With that said, I hope this helps!

If that is the extent it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me as long as you were including in your purchase price and extra for possible damage that occurs when fixing.

SCHOOL OF THOUGHT #2The investor should target Single Family or Multi-Family properties in midgrade neighborhoods that have future positive outlook.THE PROS:Quality of tenants tends to be better so property management issues and cash collection should occur less frequently.
