Me thinks we are only getting half the story.At any rate, document the condition of the property when you lease by taking at least 20 pictures (every room) and perhaps even video of the whole property.I would say that draining all pipes is a bad idea.

Trying to figure out how bad small mold growth can affect tenant health and see if the cost is justifiable. 

We have a lead that we would need to add SQFT to it in order to get our maximum ARV and wanted to know if anyone has experience, rather good or bad?

My close friend and her parents have lived in this town for 25 years and tell me where is good and bad, and it is a stop on the "Metra," the major commuter rail that connects all of Chicago's suburbs to the city.

The seller isn't the bad guy man, he is naturally scared as anyone in his position would be.

Yes, and same with the property, the buyer can cloud title and tie up the transfer of title, thus tying up the sale of the property too should a seller try to take a deposit under bad faith.  

Hello Bigger Pockets Family,I wanted to see what the process was to place a judgement on a previous tenant that left owing money and also left the apartment completely trashed. I would appreciate the help. Thank you.

I would agree its tough to tell in pictures, looks like they were knocking down basement walls and supporting with lolly columns, if the columns are on suitable footings it may not be that bad, but hard to tell in pictures, I own one similar, but i only paid $6K for the house, put $7500 in the rehab, and I get $725/mo rent, house is not falling down so I let it roll, if it starts moving then I will worry about it. 

A flip is just like cleaning up after a really bad tennant lol 

I do plan on walking in with reviews about them to see if they can explain what may have happened in certain situation (is that a bad idea?)
