@Jack Plantin Egress requirements are for fire safety.

But, I've been liking East Asia so much (great food and super convenient to do short trips overseas), I decided to extend another year.. so there goes that plan.Wonder where would be good to buy a multi-unit and hire a PM..

I think as long as safety is not a concern, an ugly property is not a huge detriment.

Every month, when he got the chargeback billing, about $15.00 he would rave about his wife and him eats take out food, no time to cook, and his landlord has a large family, constantly cooks, and have people over for dinner.

I would get multiple quotes.Get the electrical done first as this is a big safety issue.Structural next.The rest of the stuff you can get handymen to quote.Ask for a turnkey quote broken down by item.

Yes, I’ve come across repair requests on conventional loans for safety and health related items.

Safety, good internet connection, 4 bedrooms, nice people, warm weather is what I'm looking for.

It doesn't mean it doesn't still have some knob and tube but the safety factor is increased by removing fuses as tenants can mess them up by putting the wrong size in if one burns out. 

There is nothing you can invest in that doesn’t have to chance to head south, but some investments have much more of a safety net than others.

You definitely provided some food for thought.
