Handyman also suggested that this could be because landlord didn't put the proper cover surrounding the sink. 

Hello - does anyone know if there are specific licensing or regulatory to originate hard money loans?  Specifically will only be doing loans in California.  I've already done a few on my own using my own money so I ha...

The exception could be if there is basically no insulation in the attic and the condensation is forming on the attic side of the ceiling and coming down through the drywall.You mentioned that the AC was not working properly. 

Not saying it doesn’t require work, just meaning you can make money while you sleep if you run it well, market it properly, have consistent occupancy and a good management team!

An appraiser could care less as long as they look/function well.

There seems to be way too many wholesalers who lack proper knowledge and are presenting bad deals; therefore, there are tons of investors turned off by wholesalers.

I’m not sure how to plan/manage/execute that properly to my advantage. 

There's a history of flooding because of the wall foundation and the back & front lack of proper landscaping. 

Wiedenmayer as I mentioned before, I'm not an attorney, but what you described does sound excessive.As a reasonable (non-attorney) person, I would "assume" that, failing to give 3 months notice, you would be responsible for 3 months rent to cover the period you should have given notice for, which could actually be less if the landlord rents it out sooner than 3 months (which, in this rental environment, I honestly think is more likely than not).There's an additional possible wrinkle that if you originally had a lease from - for example - May 2020 through May 2021 and it wasn't properly renewed into a new 1-year lease, that the lease effectively became a month-to-month rental agreement under the same terms - which would mean you actually did give the required legal notice (one full month for a month-to-month tenancy).It's complexities like that which make me think you'd be better served consulting an attorney who can give you advice based on the specific details of your lease/situation.

I've always had a more 'old school' perspective on borrowing and not getting over-leveraged...so shifting my perspective to how the economics of today function takes work on my part...and I insure against this newer economic risk by holding that extra cash so it is available.
