Purchase price was probably 10K more than it should have been, fix up was exorbitant because the original idea was to have it as a getaway, cash flow was negligible.  

If the PM did something negligent, they should absolutely own up to it, but if it was something that just happened because the house is old, well, it would be hard to blame them for that, unless you specifically told them to have it addressed previously.  

The questions then becomes was this negligence by the title company (ie. not performing a thorough search), deceit by the seller (knowing about it and hiding it), or genuine incompetence of Baltimore gov (recorded one place and not another).But this assumed OP used the state board contract.

Therefore real estate licensed investors are more prone to be sued, reported to the real estate commission for negligent acts, regardless if there is good reason or not.

Reducing 10k off the purchase price will have a negligible impact on your monthly payment and in the grand scheme of things won't really make much of a difference if you are planning to hold for any real length of time (more than 1-2 years). 

These floors were spotless so it's 100% their negligence.

Excuse any negligence here, still learning!

I agree the 20bps difference in rate is negligible, and I like longer term fixed.  

The manager at this apartment complex is negligent.

I can't help but think this has to be negligence by both the tenant and section 8 considering they missed this in their inspection in the first place but now all of a sudden are demanding that I fix it??
