My sister had my parents' house passed down to her in a quick claim deed, which is also fully paid off Zestimate ~$420K, but she does have some "good debt", roof/windows for house $50K and car payments for her car and my mother's $25K= total debt $75K.

Here are the criteria that would determine it is a "log cabin style" v a true log cabin:- Foundation Walls = Concrete Block- Roof Surface = Metal or Shingles- Heating = FWA- Interior Walls = Drywall or Plaster

However, in my market, realtors often ask for an offer before providing basic information like the age of the CAPEX items, including the roof. 

Quote from @Jennifer Roof: That's a noble thing to do.

Right now with the Syndication MF model seemingly leaking oil all over the place.

Good morning, the following property is up for sale at $250k.  114 S Broadway St, Toledo, IA 52342 | ZillowThe seller has 'described' it as follows:"The property features a new roof and updated electrical work completed two years ago at a cost of $120,000.

Unfortunately, there was an undisclosed leak issue that my inspector uncovered, which the seller was supposed to fix.

Roof leaks?

Next I would definitely walk the property extremely thoroughly, look for foundation problems, roof, hvac, appliances, every sqft of the property should be inspected.
