Keeping the wonky mechanic theme:If the 4cyl, air-cooled engine in your 1975 VW camper needed a new top-end (all four cylinders), but you decided to replace (rehab) only two cylinders ... you won't be leaving the driveway for that trip to Burning Man.When I look at a partially renovated property, I go in with the position that if the vendor was too underfunded to complete the project, than it is more than possible that s/her also took shortcuts in the work which has been completed.  

It was a pleasant sticker shock (especially compared to southern  California where I grew up) so I decided to burn my FHA loan on a ridiculous deal on a new construction townhome.

They are crazy busy and we haven't wanted to burn bridges.

Lately, the rumor is that Kohl's burning cash quick so as Sage Stores.

We have gotten burned in the past on offering a discount on a long term lease.  

This last Dec 2016, our tenant left a space heater on and burned the rental house to the ground.

Then we noticed that the lights in the house flickered horribly and lights would burn out within weeks of replacing a light bulb.

I've been burned hard in the past, unfortunately.

If we weren't so weather dependent here it would likely be all M2M.And I absolutely agree that a tenant wanting to leave will often burn you without hesitation, it's just nice to occasionally be able to burn them back by keeping them on the hook for rent through the end of the term.

The apartment complex had several burned out units.
