The purchase price in many jurisdictions determines how the property will be taxed.

For that determination you need to ask an attorney. :)

Tax deeds are given without warranty or covenant of any type; it is the purchaser’s responsibility to determine what, if any, interest in the property is actually being purchased.

For example, software may run a report for an application, but it doesn't know how to actually evaluate the applicant and determine if they are a good fit for your rental.

(nice to meet you.)what i can help with is determining how your property might perform as a rental. so let's do that.as you probably know, you need to factor in much more than mortgage / PITI. so:will you self-manage, or hire a PM?

However, it will ultimately be up to the bank (and the underwriter) to determine if they allow this. 

But I don't know how to determine when I've had "enough" training to be relatively sure I'm not going to make a very costly mistake.  

The contractor can probably help you determine remaining value of the damaged windows.2.

If a landlord asked me, I know I wouldn’t set myself up for landlord to say I was somehow responsible for that determination.
