Thanks for your helpIt can take a long time to get a payout on an insurance claim. if you buy the property, you buy it for the value it has now, not when it's rehabbed.It will be really hard to get conventional financing on a property that has had a fire and isn't in livable condition.It's really hard to get the "burned" smell out of the property and that means a lot of demo and rebuilding and time and cost.You'd have to treat it as a new build with permits and certifications.You almost certainly will have expensive insurance since the structure has had a claim.It will have a reputation on the street for being "the house with the fire". 

The tenant is saying that something smells every time they flush the toilet.

Get 5 people to massage each extremity (one extremity each) of your body, and check this, all at the same time.

ROI is long (close to 10 years) but no longer do I have to worry about "gas smell" and I don't have to worry about the ever rising utility costs.

They also provide notes, like the house smelled of cigarette smoke.

Sometimes, it's someone who simply overpaid because of emotion.Comps: The biggest challenge when you sell, will be finding 3 comps that have sold in the last 3 to 6 months within half a mile, that aren't across a major road or greenbelt or body of water, that support your asking price.

I DID leave a bad review, I filed a complaint with Airbnb (they honestly didn't do much), and I did reach out to the guest to ask them to compensate me for the damage done (I needed ALL New linens, I had scratched mouldings/door jams, and it took DAYS of an ionizer to get the weed smell out of the space!)

@Nathan Leger Fear is a natural response designed to alert our body it is supposed to last a maximum of 90 seconds.

What "Goodies" were in it.Apparently you survived the encounter--you might not have with everyone.Maybe your potential renters are seeing something in/about these men that you are missing.Maybe it's as simple as a gang hand sign, or a gang method of dress, hairstyle or color of clothing.Maybe it's some particular 'Body Language" of the "Street" that you are totally unaware of.Maybe it's the pronunciation of a certain word that clues them in.People from the area also may know one or more of these men and know their past history and present "Activities" but not say anything to you about it.Some of these areas in Los Angeles are extremely well kept up--but still have bars over the windows--for a reason.Good Luck!
