Hi @Jason Chambers,I guess in that case online notary it is.Stay safe & don't let the Alawites bite. 

In 2018 Baltimore County is requiring carbon monoxide alarms / detectors to be:hardwired with a secondary battery backup (similar to smoke detector requirements in Balt County now)battery must be sealed, tamper resistant, and must last for a minimum of 10 yearsconnected to an on-site control unit that monitors the carbon monoxide alarm remotely so that a responsible party is alerted when the device activates the alarm signal and receives its primary power from a battery or the control unit(Ref: Baltimore County Notice with details)The one in bold specifically concerns me.

Kind of guessing on what is considered a "safe" amount to pull out.  

Also, in turn regulates and keeps tenant and landlords safe in the process.

Sure I always estimate ARV conservatively to play it safe, but that was quite a welcome surprise. 

now i have no where to live, its not safe or livible and firehazrds!

However, effectively the returns for all of the updates are negative (except for 1 maybe, attic insulation), so the logical solution is to not do any remodeling prior to selling.So if you're expected to pay retail to contractors, is it safe to say you should generally leave the property as is prior to sale?

Cleaning up is part of doing business, just as maintaining a safe work site is a part of doing business.  

Is it safe to assume that if I don't get notification that a renter purchased the insurance through VRBO they essentially refused the offer? 

What should I be prepared to ask - what kind of questions besides having my safe zone numbers ready to go?
