They let their dog eat my house, burned a section of the carpet through to the subfloor, just bad.

@Sunny Burns I had just listened to your episode the day before you posted this and was going to reach out to you!

Not sure what happened to the house, maybe it burned, maybe it blew down, maybe it got torn down by the city, maybe it was a meth lab....but in any case the house is gone. 

@Anthony Fanucci talk to @Cassidy Burns he knows the DC Virginia market actually has a podcast on it every week and is great at making numbers work.

Also I have 3 flat roof properties one of which is currently leaking but that’s dues to a crappy contractor I got burned by lol.

Burning one parties car was the way one of the parties involved decided to handle the situation.Best part about the car fire was one of the parties forgot which car was owned by the tenant.

And there are 3 choices generally:  1 you dig it up and take it elsewhere where you are still liable for it, 2  you build an incinerator on site and dig it up and burn it and dispose of the ashes somewhere where you always have liability for it or 3  you leave in there and put a cap over it and never disturb the cap, replace the cap when it degrades, and hope and pray the groundwater table does not move the pollutants off onto someone else's property where you will then be responsible for them.I did site assessments for the federal EPA in my regular job many years ago. 

we just bought a house to brrr which has a nice fireplace . we are considering closing it up to keep the future tenant from burning the house down .

@Trena Harbuck, it's not just a matter of liens expiring, you have to give the one-year lienholder notice to burn off their redemption rights in Alabama.

It sounds like they've been burned before.
