Also, expect deferred maintenance.Your #1 concern should be, can you fix the problems the seller has or will you eventually have to dump the property also?

We use a fixed master code for access and can generate single-use codes for specific dates, ideal for maintenance purposes.

Needless to say, I have broken systems in place right now that need to be fixed. 

However, everything on the inspection report - Seller agreed to fixing.

I am interested in starting out with the fix & flip and BRRRR methods in the middle Georgia area.

I'd encourage using it to fund a fix and flip or BRRRR.

If you can hang on into next spring/summer I bet you'll get better rents or be able to sell.How about asking your lender to push a monthly payment to the end of your term for the purpose of fixing the asset?

Cons- depending on your personal financials, qualifying might be more challenging and the loan might not amortize over 30-years.Another alternative would be a business-purpose rehab loan (fix and flip/fix to rent).

I would ask the installer to come back and fix it.

Unless it's obvious tenant damage you must fix things in the home.
