I have an engineer that does phase one, site inspection, and cost reserve stable for one price.Cost for everything above is in the thousands on average.Even if NNN with no landlord responsibility we still get the inspection as part of DD process.If the tenant doesn't renew it is important to know right before the option period kicks in how much life is left on roof, mechanicals etc. as in addition to the TI costs to re-tenant you can get hit with a lot of other capital costs.Lender is going to order a PCR site inspection report whether the buyer wants to or not.

I have had AC troubles with my unit in Clearwater Beach and used advanced mechanical systems out of Tampa they are great.

Now this may just be my luck of the draw, but a good installation is the key to longevity of any mechanical cooling or heating appliance.

I'm planning on replacing all wiring, plumbing & mechanicals so code shouldn't be an issue.

I have downloaded several real estate books on my phone and skipped to this chapter but they don't seem to layout the mechanics of the paperwork in a way that it protects the buyer and seller.

I would then like to have the gc get the rest of the house in reasonable mechanical condition so that I can move in and take care of the cosmetics and maybe sub out some of the heavier kitchen and bath work.

The basement could be finished out with small kitchen, and three bedrooms and still have an unfinished area for storage, mechanicals, and w/d.The basement needs finish out/remodel work, I haven't decided what to do with it.The upstairs with light cosmetic remodel (around $8k) will rent for $950 easily.  

In order to get FHA financing the property needs to meet minimum safety requirements - no peeling pant, has mechanicals, all cooper in tact, windows not boarded up, etc.

There may be Liens and Judgments against the property and/or the borrower as well as Materialman’s or Mechanic’s Liens against the property.

My girlfriend and I put an offer in for a duplex in Highland Park Richmond for $10k below asking ($95k to 85k), seller pay closing. 2009 the roof was redone, all new plumbing, electrical, mechanical, the permits are all completed and approved.
