analyzing bank owned properties

[Scott C.]

I'm curious how different people analyze and budget repairs to HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems in bank owned homes where the utilities are turned off? I went through a bank owned home recently and I noticed the thermostat was set all the way on 90 so that was a good tip off that the system needed repair. What are some other clues you all have found that indicate problems when the utilities are turned off?
