I saw a renter hanging a jacket on a swinging planter holder near the gas stove and thought, they could burn my place down.

Everyone will occasionally get burned. 

I am currently under contract for a property in Kansas City built in 1957, recently rehabbed which I have had undergo a home inspection, inspection by Structural engineer and most recently a plumber inspector as the home inspector was originally unable to access the sewerline from outside of the house and was not licensed to remove the toilet so he suggested having a plumber inspect the sewer line.

I am not planning to spend money on survey, engineer map, ESA etc. just in case it turns out to be a bad deal.

After a certain point, they might also recommend a structural engineer / architect etc.

what are some of the best search engines for finding new and Better up-to-date leads for commercial multi family ,besides the typical Crexi, loopNet, realtor.com and a MLS?    

A part of me understands the low risk tolerance someone like my mom would have and I don’t want to ruin what my dad had already built financially for my mom/our family since I have no real estate experience, but the other part feels that it would wasteful to see my mom burn through what she has left without preserving/creating more wealth with what my dad had already started. 

I am not going to book a flight, take time off work and get burned by a dictator governor.

But at the end of the day if I own 10 million dollars of real estate and the financial engineers do quantitative easing creating a million dollars to my net worth, the dude who just spent his weekend working overtime for Christmas presents is getting the short end of the stick. 

Formerly a civil engineer and wanted to do something different with life.
