Strange Vandalism / Theft
One of our properties in Memphis is vacant, and we had some strange vandalism / theft. They kicked-in the back door and took the white-painted steel registers and register boots from the ceilings (damaging the ceilings), and the AC coil from the furnace. We've told the property manager to put an armed guard service out there until an alarm is installed. They have what looks like a good potential tenant application, so it should not be vacant much longer.
I'm also looking to buy a flip in California. It is in a good neighborhood and built in the 2000s. I saw at least four drug needles in the place, and the vandal / drug addict stole the fiberglass and plastic flex ducts from the attic. Replacing it will cost real money, but the stuff have zero resale value. How strange!
