instead  I think people are  like now.. for $1450, for $200  less , I will get the same area and be a few blocks away.   

I get it, his tenant has now complained to him 2 times in a week about water issues and he will have some very minor water damage.

I think that was my original plan and looks like I'm stuck with that to meet code unless I add some blocking bar between treads.

It was a fire damaged, hoarder house when we first laid eyes on it.

I own other properties in same block How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Without it, your units will sit vacant (awaiting rehab), or your tenants maintenance requests will sit untouched (which turns into more damage or turnover).I'd recommend going with a highly rated company, and going slow. 

After reading reports of serious, damaging fires caused by electric car batteries, I'm considering disqualifying potential tenants who have electric cars and putting a clause in my lease prohibiting electric cars and stating that the tenant expressly assumes all risk of damage to the property arising from electric car fires.

He had a car parked in front of his driveway, called the local police station that's a block away who knew him personally, says he needs a summons issued.

I didn't know how to negotiate so I only brought it down $5000 and asked them to repair some damages in the house.

On 8/17/2021, they came back did some “core sampling and dry wall removal that revealed several areas of substrate damage and moisture intrusion.
