Carpet ruined - Do I have recourse? Should I pursue?

Didn't read all of it.When you buy carpet you can get a plastic vapor barrier put in underneath to try and protect the floor.You can turn off the lights and take a black light to show all the urine stains.

Preselling a Flip
7 September 2015 | 7 replies
Here is the type of wording we use in an addendum to our contracts if we presell a house:In order to compensate the seller for the items and finishes that may need to change should the closing not occur because of any contingency in the contract, the parties agree that there shall be a separate deposit of $20,000.00 which shall be non-refundable to the purchasers should the transaction not close.These funds are not earnest money that is in any way refundable to the purchaser should the contract fail to close.This means if we give them allowances to pick out lighting, tile, etc. and they pick out items we would never have picked and the house doesn't close -- for ANY REASON (loan doesn't go through, appraisal too low, they simply change their minds, etc.), we get the $20,000 so that we can then do the house as we see fit.There are many other pitfalls you must pay attention to when selling early, but none as important as this one.

Technically they don't have to take "construction debris" but success can be had if it looks like DIY, it's small and light, under 30lb, and don't put out too much at once.

How do you label your units addresses on a quadplex? A,B,C,D?

The county did it, the post office was flexible, Florida Power and Light refused to change their designations.I would probably tend to use one that provides continuity and the least confusion to most.

Action that has caused you to take on significant debt, create LLCs with little understanding, no plan on their structuring, operation, record keeping, and write posts that do not paint you in the best of lights as a serious investor.
