I would keep it as simple as possible for you.Smartlocks requires batteries and that will be a problem one day when the tenant gets locked out because they wouldn't change the batteries.

We also asked the existing tenant if we could run one extension cord to the site for battery chargers, and a hose to spray the dirt down before digging to keep the dust down.

Most building codes require you to add in hardwired smoke/co detectors which is more expensive then just putting in battery powered ones.Dont worry about the baluster spacing... it is grandfathered in.Have the contractor who is bidding on the front railing add to his bid securing the indoor railing.Have the electrician add to his quote the adding of GFI plugs where neededGet a fireplace inspector to come out for both fire places.Overall... make sure you either get the seller to reduce the house for the repairs that are agreed upon or that they use a contractor/electrician/roofer/fireplace inspector that you agree with.
