If a fire restoration company came out to inspect after the fire they would have deemed whether the structure was safe or not for repairs and to continue living in.Always good to do your own due diligence, but I personally think the plumbing and potential water issues pose a higher risk. 

Quick background - I live in Southern California and I am looking to purchase either a 2/2 condo or a small 3/2 single family house.

We are living this now.3.  

My wife and I live in Dublin and work in Blacksburg.

I know its not going to be on me, but I don't want my reputation to suffer.Also, the tenants husband had been living with her for 7 years with no problems before the DV incident occurred.

Hard for a person to imagine living there. 

Why Detroit vs where you live?

Of course I am going to be bias because I live here and invest here but Memphis is a great cash flow town!

@Tony Castronovo This is the first time I have had any complaints from them (granted they have only been living there for about 5 months or so. 

Along with the same client is building a small resort on one of the Islands. to me the pros are things are based on english law and english is the language of the country.for us where at our age health care is important I would not choose to live there as an x pat.
