FREE Property - What's the WORST that could happen?
I have been offered a free property ($1) in a very rough part of Philadelphia. The property is a boarded up shell. I'm trying to figure out what risks I run if I purchase this and sit on it for the foreseeable future.
Aside from yearly RE taxes and HI there shouldn't be any costs I believe?

@Lucas Pfaff Here's a scenario:
You record your deed and the local sheriff meets you at the property and serves you as defendant in a toxic waste super site lawsuit. As you duck into the house, you startle a squatter who shoots you in the head. You don't die but are permanently paralyzed.
You did ask what's the worst that can happen. Care to rephrase your question?
