Usually this means greater loss of money, time, and energy.I have spent hours cleaning, largely because I want to help my parents but also because I feel guilty that this happened during my watch....although probably impossible to prevent unless I was house sitting which I was not doing.Any advice about getting insurance involved early in the process of cleanup and drying?

Interesting article...I looked at a 4,000 sq. ft. home in my town that was built in 1840's. It

We call it a Master Suite (sleeping area, bathroom, kitchenette, sitting area), or when we rent it separately it is a basement "studio".  

Now that buyers must meet scores that are more stringent, these homes are priced $40k less than they were and are just sitting (boarded up) because no one that would live in these areas can qualify.

Aside from being overgrown, it looks like these sit at a level significantly below the developed lots...wondering if there are grading issues...

I don't mind if a tenant works from home as long as that work does not create any strain whatsoever to maintenance of the property, or cause inconvenience, noise, and liability to anyone else.For example, buying and selling stuff, requiring UPS or FedEx multiple times a day for pick up, drop off, sometimes many packages on doorsteps; running a misery, conducting a yoga class, hair and nail, pet grooming, are all going to have frequent visitors that may park in neighbor's parking spaces, and you might be liable if a dog being groomed in unit C bit a baby being dropped off for baby sitting in unit B.  

As a wholesaler, you don't want to be greedy, leave enough meat on the bone for your investor so he can pay you your fees and move on.  

Take a list and send half one letter and half a different one then track your results.FYI in MA it is $500 and $500/year after, then of course the other costs and obligations of having a company (Even if bare bones and poorly run:) ).  

@Stephen S.The man who owned this house before me did a very poor job of maintaining this boiler, and he allowed the air in the basement to be damp, which made it even worse.The 'bonnet' is the part in this picture that looks like a mushroom sitting on top of the boiler (this is not my image, i just google image searched it)http://www.merrypad.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11...
