This was after a tenant tried to touchup nail holes using a matched paint and we ended up having to repaint the whole place... not fun.

Tenant will immediately act to identify and remove/clean up the source of any such odors and to ventilate the rental unit or otherwise remove the foul odor upon discovery of it.General --Walls: should be clean, free of dirt, grease, holes, cobwebs, and fingerprints.Floors: should be clean, clear, dry and free of hazards.Windows: should be clean and not nailed shut.

Usually I limit it to things like cleaning, patching holes and other low cost items.

The primary areas are patching up holes in the roof, siding replacement, update and replace 2-4 HVAC units, install 1 or 2 water heaters, replace missing plumbing, and bring electric up to code.I have an architect who has been working the permit/drawing side of the process, now trying to get as many complete estimates as possible.

And increases the price tag by a hefty amount.....Check the ROI before going down this rabbit hole.... 

I've literally driven myself crazy going down this cold calling rabbit hole.

A qualified stucco inspector can drill a few small holes and check the moisture levels to see if there are any current issues.

yes, there's a magistrate in town that points all tenants to free legal aid which is just a few doors down from small claims (it's all in the same courthouse) ..they immediately appeal their lost eviction case and counter sue for some BS..normally they punch holes in the wall, scrap the oven and fridge at the metal yard, etc and then take pics of this "damage"...that's why it's good to have proof of move in photos, signed check in sheet listing damages, etc.

Mildew can be a problem if not properly applied.It can be damaged pretty easily, Joel, you could punch a hole in it, I suggest you wear gloves.

I had no idea that loan fraud was that seriousWhen I asked him if that was loan fraud, he paused and said," Yes, but there are loop holes around it, like staying in the house for only six months."...As for the down payment.
