I wouldn’t be too concerned about it—based on my over ten years of experience in the field, I’ve never encountered any complaints regarding ceiling textures.

One effective way to assess the safety and crime rates in a potential rental location is by utilizing online resources and tools. Websites like NeighborhoodScout, CrimeMapping, and local police department websites often provide detailed crime statistics and trends for specific areas. Additionally, you can check community forums or social media groups related to the neighborhood for firsthand accounts from residents.

It's also helpful to reach out to local real estate agents who have in-depth knowledge of the area. They can provide insights not only into safety but also about the neighborhood’s character and amenities. Furthermore, consider using platforms like Google Street View to virtually explore the area and get a sense of the surroundings.

Lastly, don't forget to read reviews from current or past tenants of the properties you’re considering. This can give you a clearer picture of their experiences in terms of safety and overall satisfaction with the location. Taking these steps will ensure you make an informed decision without having to travel extensively

It sounds like you're in a challenging situation, but there are steps you can take to address this issue. First, consult with a real estate attorney to explore your legal options. They can help determine if you have a case for misrepresentation or fraud against the seller, especially since the omission of the basement and its condition was not disclosed.

Additionally, you might want to consider hiring a structural engineer to assess the damage and provide a detailed report. This will not only help you understand the extent of the damage but also serve as evidence in any legal proceedings or negotiations with the seller.

Document everything thoroughly, including communications with the seller and any professionals involved in the inspection and renovation process. This documentation will be crucial if you decide to pursue legal action.

Lastly, reach out to your homeowner's insurance company to discuss the situation. While most policies do not cover pre-existing conditions, they may offer some guidance or support in terms of potential coverage or next steps.

Addressing these issues promptly can help prevent further damage to your property and safeguard your investment.

One thing to be mindful of is ensuring that the installation and removal of appliances are done safely and professionally to prevent any damage to the property. You might want to require that any installation or removal be performed by a licensed professional. Additionally, consider discussing the implications for liability and insurance with your insurer to make sure you're covered in case of any accidents or issues related to the new appliances.

It’s also important to document the condition of the existing appliances before they are removed and stored, as well as the condition of the property to avoid any disputes later. You might also want to set clear terms in writing about what happens to the new appliances when the lease ends, particularly if the tenants decide to leave them behind.

Finally, ensure that any agreement on this matter is clearly reflected in the lease to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. Having everything documented will provide clarity and protect both parties’ interests.
