People get sick of breaking even at best or many cases putting cash to keep the thing going.We keep within a 15 minute radius of home and find they need to be close to keep a handle on them.

And as explained in a post above, the prep work for pavers is very similar to the prep work for concrete, so if going with pavers is an option then look at concrete as well - whether plain or stamped / decorative. 

It's like a younger person age 20 in that for the most part if they get sick the cost is minimal to get them back on track ( there are always exceptions) but an old building that has been let go is like a really old person in their 80's where it takes a lot of ongoing care and attention to keep them going.

Pollution Liability Coverage: The agent claims that they cover both the court costs and damages as a result of people getting sick due to pollutants like CO2.Focus of company is on real estate investorsCons: Moderately more expensive across all three properties.

Compared to Westchester, the prices here are AMAZING (I used to live in White Plains), and though the returns will be smaller with cheaper houses and lower rents, it's a great way to start.

Even houses in 500 year flood plain areas (0.2% chance of flood per year) flooded!  

Though they vary, most state very plainly that if the house sells in any way shape or form within the 180-day period (or with other caveats if it sells shortly thereafter), the seller MUST pay the agents commission.

However, the issue is that his home flooded twice this year resulting in the area to be rezoned in a flood plain.  

I'd also go by the home and post a notice of an inspection-you never know something could have happened to them (either they left, are sick).

General consensus around here that I have seen is that:Buy and hold guys don't want the liability of a tenant getting sick or claiming to get sick from exposure to some area that missed treatment, or the soil in the yard if it has some unknown contamination.And flippers aren't willing to gamble that they got it waaay low enough to take the back end discount that they will need to likely take to get a end buyer to purchase.That is what I've seen pretty much every time this question has been posed in the past.
