I would also talk to your Title Rep and go over the Preliminary Title Report to make sure that the person who is selling is actually the owner.

I'm talking stealing appliances, destroying everything in sight, the works.

Let me know if you want to talk in greater detail. 

That said, I'm sure there are investors that invest in war zones (although it's not clear to me that's the kind of area you're talking about), but I don't really know any here, and it's not a market I want to work.

Recently, I've heard people even talk about trying to purchase properties in the areas where the recent flooding has occurred.

Talk to your broker (if you have one), because you might need to switch.2.

However, they were short term and out of the 100s of deals I've done, we're talking 2 times options were the right tool.

Right now I'm just trying to gather as much information as I can and hopefully be able to talk with a few people who can give me some advice.
