Minor critique (and I mean minor), I didn't like the dark ceiling fan with all of the other white ones. 

I left the corporate world because I was tired of someone else telling me there was a ceiling on my income.

I would go on eBay and buy a couple fake 15$ security cameras and mount them up in the corners of ceilings under them leave a sign that says overloading the machines damages the units .Then it will be at operators expense and cameras are in use to verify . 

There isn’t a single thing in the house besides the heater that hasn’t been changed out. 95% of the stuff I put into the house came from auctions which is how I kept the costs down (was getting pallets of lights and ceiling fans for $175.00, bath tubs for $1.00 yes one dollar and hardwood flooring for $0.50 linear foot) as well as doing 90% of the work myself.

Repaired ceilings and certain walls.

Through an FHA loan, you are permitted to purchase from 1-4 units, up to various USD amounts, depending on whether the area of the planned purchase in considered floor, ceiling, or special exception.

Basically I'll need to figure out a way to raise the ceiling in the living, dining, and kitchen.

The tenant was also charged $130 for tenant caused repairs (I.E. dog holes in back yard).The work needed upon move out was:- Full paint including ceilings in all 3 upstairs bedrooms - normal wear and tear- Paint interior and exterior doors front and back - normal wear and tear the sun beats down on these doors- Fill in all nail holes and repair where old curtain rods were on windows- Install smoke alarms - normal upon move out- Change furnace filter - normal upon move out- Fill dog holes in back yard - Check all plumbing and electrical to ensure is functioning (switches, plugs, outlets, drains, faucets) - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Roof repairs - not tenant damage- Ceiling repairs in upper bedrooms - due to roof leak- Repair storm door on front and rear entry- Remove all debris throughout the property- Check all cabinets, doors, hinges, are tight and open/close as they should - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Repair kitchen cabinet that is leaning forward - minor repair- Install shower head- Reglaze bathtub - not tenant damage- Install light bulbs in every socket - normal upon move out- Check all ceiling fans operate and install globes where missing - precautionary to avoid maintenance issues as it is cheaper to do everything at once rather than have several maintenance calls after a move in- Change front and back entry door locks - normal In move outYour response below:Skye,Isn't this supposed to be covered by the tenant's deposit?

Everything else has to be refreshed : Floors (carpeted, heavily spoiled and cat urine odor) Ceilings dry-wallWalls dry-wallElectrical is out of date (knot and tube all over, electrical panel needs replacement) Risks: Sanitization (cat urine smell, potential for pest problems)Structural integrity not checked (unable to check in a timely fashion due to deadline)Evidence of water damage on main floor ceiling, extent of damages unknownNo smell of mold in basement but knowing the city history of flooding, this is uncertainPlumbing looks recent but it was hard to be absolutely sure of this assertionThe reason I decided against in the end : too many unknowns.

If you're buying central you'll likely have to deal with 40-50 years old house (old plumbing, electrical, outdated floorplan, lower ceilings, 1-car or no garage, etc) that will generate higher repair bills during your ownership and higher property taxes.
