I think it's all smoke and mirrors.Mike

I always check at least once a year:(1) Smoke alarms(2) Fire extinguishers(3) Roof (usually just send someone in to the attic)(4) Windows and doors for leaks;(5) Underneath sinks for leaks (in case you haven't notice I'm terrified of water)(6) Exposed wiring of any kind(7) Any type of repair that needs fixing (I just give my handy man free reign)(8) HVAC (separate HVAC guy comes through and inspects and services)(9) If there's something unique to the house (e.g. railing), I have him check to make sure it's safe and secure.

Repositioning dark assets is not for the new investor.

A rescue crew in the dark would never be able to navigate it. 

This is one of the deep dark secrets of this business.

You want to consider parking and make sure each room still has smoke alarms, egress, and no dead bolts.

One of the neighbors called us today, and listed the following issues:1) There are 5 people living in the house (there are only 3 on the lease), and the house has become a party house with 10-12 people going in and out every day2) Allegedly, pot is being smoked frequently in the backyard at said parties3) Drunken behavior including peeing in the backyard where neighbors can seeNow I'm a little worried that illegal activity may be going on at my house.  

In case I come across a smoking deal in your neck of the woods.

Just some basic considerations for you to scratch your head over.Now, gotta go, I have some great looking honey smoked salmon, baked patato, squash and brocoli to finish off!

@Juan@Juan Del Arco I'd bet their cable bill is paid and they still have smokes and PBR.
