I can understand why the association would not leave it to individual owners to get it done, as most simply wouldnt do it (And if not done, could burn the whole place down).   

I, on the other hand, lost money on one deal and made three times more than he did on another that ended up burning down in a wildfire.

Ask the local fire department if they would like to train on it (burn it and ask them to put it out), but get all of this in writing.  

Here are some things I think you should ask yourself.If a lamp burns down a client’s house am I covered?

Anybody have experience with rehabbing a gutted burned brick house?  

That’s a story for another day, though.Anyway, after taking the plunge and just going for it, I got pretty burned out on the first deal.

If you have a $500K house with a $400k mortgage that burns to the ground.

OMG/SMH...I am so embarrassed that I feel obligated to share my vulnerability with the BP community...Quick story - I just burned $200 on fire (figuratively) on my first day of my first flip.

It is a long game and people looking for a quick payoff often get burned.  

I suppose the house burned down or something.
