Most contractors have been burned so they should know how to secure the place.

sound like your on the right track putting the team together so you don't get burned on buying wrong.

I had a house that was very similar to this just outside a super hot neighborhood in WPB and I got burned because of little repairs that wiped out almost my entire return. 

Original is better and BIN is what is used on burned property to seal in the smoke smell.

No I have not been burned.

Like I said, I would stay put with this one - personally I sleep better with less debt.If it burns you so much that stale equity, then I would accelerate to max paying it down and then putting an LOC on top of P1 & P3.

So, while the meth complicates is a little, it doesn't change much because if there is any smoke damage it needs to be remediated regardless of whether it was meth or just household items burning.

@Cassidy Burns I know there are two programs specific to Baltimore City, but I can't remember the exact names right now.

Not sure how much cash other company has left to burn?

The next day the repairman came out, and called AHS to tell them all the parts that had burned, WITHOUT EVEN GOING ON THE ROOF TO INSPECT THE UNIT!!
