On top of that MD expands their protected classes via state law to a few other areas, but again no rental history is not apart of that extension. 

One of them was a FSBO listing that had extensive earthquake retrofitting.

If there's extensive damage then you should ask an attorney.

@Justin Koopmans To help clarify on a point that seems to be moving in a misunderstood direction, speculation IS a major segment of Real Estate Investing, AND some speculative investing can be structured for low risk exposure (ie wholesaling) and other forms are extensive risk exposure (ie long term holding for speculative market value increase's) and should be left to just those of appropriate mastery level and with ability to absorb losses if when losses occur. 

As prices rocket and affordability drops, a market more like stagflation will set in of increasing prices, lowering volume, and an extension in time for the situation out possibly decades.

Which is why I believe having a voice of reason or an knowledgeable agent on your team who is going to kill any uncertainty^ with the sellers agent/attorney and doubt with the life cycle of the loan (# of days to close, extensive FHA guidelines, other hurdles/delays.) is very important.

if an extension could be $10,000 up to $150,000Fire Hydrantif needed, $3,000Sewerif needed: $5,000 plumbingSewer Lineif needed; $10,000 up to ????

The fire damage is is extensive in four of the units, but the two ground floor apartments could likely be cleaned, painted and rented.

That's an easy eviction as long as everything is squared away with the paperwork, and no past lease extensions were filed. 

What are peoples thoughts on the latest moratorium extension?
