thanks will keep my ears peeled

You'll want to keep your eyes peeled on the escrow statement (unlikely but one can dream) for a breakout of your purchase price between land and building, or the most common source is a property tax statement.

The edges on laminate eventually peel up, and if it gets wet, that just speeds up the process. 

On the other hand, vinyl is very quick and easy to install and replace between tenants but it obviously doesn't last as long and can peel up.

I am still new to this game, and have a SFR in Melbourne, which was mildly affected by Irma, and I am curious what everyone does for storm cleanup in regards to tenant vs landlord responsibilities.My rental house had some porch roll roof peeled off, the wood fence blew over and a shutter came off. 

Keep your eyes peeled for deferred maintenance issues on the concrete work, stairs, landings, slabs.7.

So I'd check with city code book and see what's required,, all that humidity has to go somewhere,, and inside isn't where it belongs.Even if it was a private home,, the amount of moisture staying inside is bad for your house structure,, mold issues, paint peeling, rot, over time it will become a bigger problem

The laundry room had cracked wood paneling walls and peeling vinyl flooring that we replaced with peel and stick vinyl planks, and added 1/4" sheetrock and new beadboard wood paneling for an updated look.

FHA, VA, and Conventional mortgages each come with their own set of rules and requirements or the condition of items such as the roof, plumbing, appliances, peeling paint, floor coverings, etc.

I bought the property for 75k and it appraised at 102k at the time of purchase but I would love to be able to get the appraisal up to 115k-120k if possible.At the moment, the plan is to repaint the property (lots of peeling paint on the outside) and redo two of the bathrooms that drastically needed upgrades.
