Hopefully as we do our due diligence, we will uncover anything that might have been covered up, and if so, I would adjust our offer accordingly.

I know for a fact we could hire one investigator at $50,000 a year and they would uncover enough fraud to pay for the position 4x over.But, just like legalized marijuana, I disagree with it but I can't stop the machine.

This is where we disagree, visit the property and/or hire your own inspector, and the attempted fraud would have been uncovered before it happened.

My PM scheduled a yearly inspection they my property and uncovered these issues: Sprinkler eroded a hole in the dirt near the houseFascia has a gapTree needs a trimKitchen cabinet door won't close, replace hingesPressure wash concretePool Screen Panels torn, need repairScreen door latch needs replaceThen he quoted this work out and it came to $1145.

You must follow the rules exactly or you will pay tax on the 'uncovered' gain.

When we started renovating one side of the duplex, we uncovered multiple issues that drained most of our reserves.

The inspection period is your opportunity to uncover as much information as possible about your purchase.

Can't help with your questions about area but if you search the forums you will get some ideas and while you hone in on area you may uncover some other Section 8 issues like finding a PM in the low cost areas you are interested in.

Reasons for claims to be denied include fraud, misinformation, not adhering to the contract conditions (such as securing vacant properties, protecting properties from further damage after a loss, reporting a loss in a timely manner…)So, your usage of the word reasonable in relation to your specific claim is difficult to address without sharing all of the relevant details, but again you can refer to the carrier’s denial, dated May 1, 2014 for the valid and factual reasons your loss was denied.As for us “getting carrier to pay reasonable claims”, we’ve indicated numerous times here, we are the agency, and have no ability to influence a carrier’s decision, as the facts uncovered by their investigation of each claim, stand on their own merit.

We are looking for damages and activities that shouldn't be happening along with uncovering any unauthorized pets or roommates we didn't know about.
