Now, I hardly get involved unless it something major.

With my work/family schedule I need to take the course online.

About the property: It is a duplex, Newly build so assuming no major capex expenses in next 10 years.

I got the Obituary from online.

Then you pay for clean up, repairs to get ready to find another tenant.When everything is done, repeat all over.Ps - roof life 10-25 years depends on the weather, woods around and materials- furnace 25-30 years- HWT 10 yearsEtcNow factor these money into the price of the house and get it inspected how old is the major parts.

It has some distinct positives, and some major negatives.

Looking online I see a bunch of large companies that do this sort of work... but I would prefer a small consultancy, maybe just one or a few people.

@Alyssa SteinruckYou may have some contractors come and see how long it would take to repair the damages, or how long to repair the safety issues and get a better idea of what it will take to fix.If its something they can do in a week or two, you may just offer to put them up in a hotel until the major safety issues are addressed.  

From what I read online, its at the lender discretion.  

I've already left a bad review on them through online media and my partner will sometime this week.
