You really have to practice preventive maintenance when trying to ensure a property will cash flow.Knowing the market and helping buyers with ARV potential is a huge step and creates a repeat/return buyer.

Verifying these claims of "value add" potential is critical to ensure the investment goes as planned. 

Hello @Michael Dallas,To verify the seller’s information, ensure you request these essential documents:Rent Roll (to confirm rental income and occupancy)Lease Agreements (to review tenant terms)Financial Statements (past 1-2 years, including income and expenses)Property Tax StatementsUtility Bills (if applicable)Maintenance Records and recent CAPEX reportsInsurance Policy DetailsInspection Reports (any recent or previous reports)These will help you confirm the property’s income, expenses, and condition.

However - if they're there and verified to be inspectors to ensure the unit is compliant, then yes you are obligated to let them do their jobs.

If you've done a cost seg before and have broken out your property into 1245 and 1250 property, it would be best to be thoughtful of your replacement property to ensure you'll get full deferral.

They would never look at 99% of the 154 units that are listed on Zillow at any given time.I used this exercise to show how opportunities fall through the cracks & most investors make investment decisions based on bad or irrelevant data.

Just to give further data to the equation. 

Over the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.One standout method has always been pulling data and feeding it into a call center to generate off-market leads.

If the cabinets are touching the floor, I'd say put the cabinets in first and this way you know exactly where you need cut the flooring to ensure a 1/4inch gap between the lvp and the foot of the cabinet. 

Considering paying but there doesn't seem to be any guarantee or data to help me make the decision.
