It was like something was dead.

It also spells out that in order to quickly replace tenants, any dead grass will be replaced with sod at tenant’s expense (paid by tenant).  

There's nothing like a drop-dead hard deadline to help you accomplish your goals.

The fix and flip market is just about dead in most areas, but they are making huge amounts of money in the information sales industry.

But with where I'm at, and my current goals (which is to force equity and money as fast as possible),  I see dead equity that I could recycle for a higher return on more value add deals.

Material costs $300 BUT you must have someone dumping the dead and resetting the traps for as long as you own this property.Your contract has arbitration.

Beating a dead horse here but Zoning & Restrictions.

I’m sick of dead beat tenants taking advantage of landlords.

Actually "dec action" but pronounced like "deck."

If let's say one of your contingencies was not met then like an inspection that revealed structural damage that you could not come to a new agreement with the seller on, then you would both sign a document to release the earnest money so the deal would be dead and you could get your money back.As far as other costs, there are the normal costs in the transaction like paying an inspector, lender fees and such.
