Obviously I would expect to be facing fines but I would do everything possible to appease the board without any form of deception.   

Should we expect more or less of this activity under stagflation?

I would go with the pebble tech however, pebble tech or plaster, I wouldn't expect to get anymore ROI out of the pool than what you put into it.

I have read all the forum post related to foreclosures that I can find on here, and I guess I wanted to check my process and invite anyone else to give me advice.The recommendations I have been given/ read most frequently are:Have a title report performed as close to the date of sale as possible (2-3 days depending on how long your title company needs) Try to find a title company that is willing to sell you title insurance after a judicial foreclosure.Perform extra searches yourself for any items that are excluded from the title report.Calculate the expected value based on the best comps.Drive by the property to get an idea of current condition.
