Tough to get any form of financing & sometimes just as tough to get insurance on the ones we have since made a LOT of money on.

There's just too many heating pipes, sidings, fire-resistant ceilings in boiler rooms, and others that means its tough to avoid.Here in Vermont, if we suspect asbestos exists we just need to make sure it is contained.

Yes, it would be nice to have access to their estimates, but if they're not there or they're not valid such as in this case, then you need to be able to do your own comps or get someone who can help you with that.If you don't know the rents or condition or anything else, then you're going to be in a tough position to have an offer in hand.
