Despite the "common hearsay" aluminium wiring can be safe, provided the correct receptacles/fixtures are used, or the ends of runs were properly pigtailed to copper.You definitely want breakers over fuses and you would want to confirm the existing circuits have the capacity to handle today's electrical loads and that there is additional room in each unit's panel.

In addition, I am not sure the mail laws, but I might believe that I cannot pick up or hold someone's mail that isn't mine.What do you guys do in these cases?

A new real estate investor walks into my place of business and I missed the opportunity to connect.

Hey BP,This one is a little off the wall, but just curious if anyone else has dealt with this already.Just when you thought you'd seen a few things, you walk into a garage that sunk 2-4"...it's bizarre!

I would leave the overgrowth and trim it, add it into the landscaping and fix/clean the flooring.  

People moved in with parents or took on additional roommates lowering the demand but there were so many empty bank owned units that the supply was also down. 

@David Torres nails it... as soon as somebody walks down the hallway and sees that bathroom, they will (fine.. may*) be instantly turned off, and think in their heads they have to gut the entire thing.

No / late rent = an eviction notice and a walk through without exception.

gotcha... although if you just hand in the keys your walking from your downpayment and whatever cash you have in it.your sense are correct all these folks singing on massive debt with 5 year calls are taking a certain amount of risk.. just need to look back to 08 09 when no one could refi and all these properties changed hands.. it was not because of poor operators basically it was frozen credit and banks not relenting or walls st.. hedgefund bought said notes from failed banks and refused to rewrite and took the assets.. since they paid pennies on the dollar for the paper.. foreclosing and reselling was still a better play for them..
