Tenant accidentally burned the oven tray (the big tray/draw on the bottom of the oven).

@Edward Burns I suppose that's true, depending on where you work.

Small house, low rent, and low purchase price mean you probably will not get burned big (financially).

It had a house on it that burned down.

I am a bit of a gambler but have been burned before with a bad title on a home so not trying to have it happen again.

Either way, I have this hunch that going with solid wood floors beats engineered due to the fact that you can sand it more than once.

As for my boss, they know and they hate it when I burn my vacation leave to flip or clean or paint and come back to work burnt out vs relaxed.

Well they got burned on a couple properties and had to pay out claims, so they changed their policy and now don't issue any title insurance on tax sales.Title insurance is the only insurance that insures PAST events, so it is highly profitable, and they like to have no claims whatsoever.

On a 30-unit building you will need to engage an engineering firm for a Property Assessment / Structural & Systems Assessment.

Once a buyer gets burned by a deal falling through they tend to be awfully gun shy before they tie up the house with another buyer again.
