After some issues with the mortgage lender not doing their due diligence until the last minute they put in some of their commission to support the closing of this property.

The PM had a plumber go to the house, incurring an after-hours emergency fee, but was unable to assess the exact cause of the issue at night, stating it's either a frozen pipe or pump issue and they need to return during the daytime to fully address.

As for serviceability, I personally prefer kohler as a plumber.

If you want to combine two or more lesser sales into one higher purchase that is fine as long as your purchase meets the timing requirements for each sale.  

Quote from @Milena Garcia: this sale I hope is all done after 2 months..

After a couple of years, the carpet on the stairs was damaged and had to be replaced.

You could force the seller to bring it up to code before the sale is complete as one of the contingencies of buying it, let them deal with it.

This results in a significantly lower payment after the reset. 

Sorry for the slow response had a wedding to prepare for at my house and just in recovery after being in the hospital.

After 1-2 years, rinse and repeat.
