My property management has been good about day-to-day items like appliances and turn overs, but poor at comprehensive solve like exterior leaks and only one individual has been good at communicating with tenants.  

The roofs on these things are small, and many have the skylight in the bathroom which often leaks, I would tighten up the roof, then address the plumbing issues then move onto the electrical. 

The Summary page was reserved for 4-5 major issues like damaged trusses, anything leaking, undersized electrical panel, water under the house, etc....y'know, big and important stuff.So this joker has 5 pages of summary items...everything from loose doorknobs to a loose tile.

I posted on a local group asking for attorney referrals and got some responses about my plan that made me question if this is infact what I need to do to start as a number of people said escrow will create these docs for me. 

This particular transaction not only included preparation of loan docs but also  review of subdivisions, deeds, permits, environmental reports, easements etc. 

Make sure no running toilets, and leaks.

In both cases, the tenant should be educated on their responsibilities and held accountable.Even if the water source were a leaking pipe or roof, you should be able to identify the problem, dry it out, and remove the mold professionally within a few days and then the problem goes away.Simply accepting the tenant's claim - without verification - and allowing them to break the lease without penalty is a bad policy that will cost you much more in the long run.

Leaking lines can cause issues before and after lift. 

The costs of transferring to an LLC: In Florida, we have to pay doc stamp tax upon transfer of a deed at $.70 per $100, plus recording fees.  

It appears roof failed, leaked for a long time.
