It's suppose to be more then 18 inches from the roof.

If there was any peeling paint obviously that is something that needs to be addressed.Mold, leaks or improperly working systems.

The only exception is the HVAC/roof; if these items are half or less of their expected manufacturer lifespan it would be worth it.

The leak went through the 2nd floor tenant's floor, dripped down to the 1st floor and created water seeping along the path of least resistance (i.e. the part that separates the giant drywall pieces).

I figured $5K in Baltimore would be a rotting board-up with the roof missing along a block of many other properties just like it.

So, if he checked a box that there were no problems with the piping but knew about prior leaks, for example, you might have a claim.

I can assure you im not going to steal your deal, plus you know where i work and can just beat me up.Just remember, two buildings is two roofs, on and on...

What type of performance will the bank require from your property during underwriting.Its 3am and the phone rings and your tenants w/heater just started leaking and the water has leaked out of the laundry room into the living room carpet.

She patches leaks but the whole thing needs to be replaced.

I come from a long line of insurance people on both sides of the family, and have more than a passing familiarity with insurance claims as a result (regular dinner table talk)...and I would never in a million years think that someone's burst pipe leaking into my apartment is an Act of God.
