It was broken down and he refused to fix it or sell it for scrap. 

If the tech says it is broken because the tenant did something wrong then you can state that to them and let them know if there is an issue they will be responsible but buying used and wanting the tenant to be responsible I don't think is fair.

Here are just a few examples: missing handrails, no gutters or broken gutters, exposed subfloor, exposed wiring, insufficient heating elements, dry rot, mold, water damage, rotting or leaking window sills and trim, appliances that don't work, deck and fence in disrepair, wet basements, peeling paint, roof over 20 years old could get called out.Hope this helps and best of luck to you!

I have a friend who’s landlord keeps neglecting to replace their broken HVAC system.

While I can understand some of the desire for rent control there are other more practical and productive ways to assist families in need of housing (IE fix the broken section 8 programs around the country)  I would prefer however that all of you out of state investors get out of "our town" so that the prices can go back to normal for us locals, which should in turn help keep rents down a bit locally .....

It took me a moment to determine ALL the bulbs had been stolen.When I looked for signs of a break-in I found a glass pane on the front door had been removed (not broken) someone reached into unlock, then they carefully set the glass pane asideThat is all.  

Is the HVAC and water heater broken and functioning properly or is this just due to age?

Has anyone out there created or have access to a detailed list of all the tasks broken down for a JV, from acquisition to disposition and everything in between.

This is just for my walkthrough to see how I feel about the property and targeting serious issues without the affirmation of a home inspection report; cracked foundation, holes in the house, broken windows, wet walls/floors/ceilings, wet crawlspace, etc.
