This ensures that I have copies of everything a proof of delivery.If there is anything I missed, please care to share!

Especially on the rental side where prospective tenants may not care because they aren't living there long term.I live near a freeway where sometimes you hear it. 

However, weighing your options and performing due diligence carefully based on your specific circumstances, the property's potential, and your long-term goals.

I wonder if Mitch was able to get his refi done before a NOD was filed and or late payments were put on the orginal sellers credit report.. this is the real risk to the seller if they value their fico score at all.. on some of this stuff the sellers credit is already trashed and they dont care.. but if folks buy from someone that does care holy cow when they get the NOD notice its right to the attorney.. 

The low ones tend to not care about your property as well too. 

You need 6" clear from ground to bottom plate, and ground must slope away from house...5) Any place that water can enter the house (doors and windows, skylights, where roof meets eaves, etc...) should be checked thoroughly, if it's not raining on inspection day, you have to be really careful with this...any suspect areas, put a hose on them....

I've heard there's a good chance the mortgage company won't care as long as the payments continue to be made on time but I still want to protect myself just in case.

They didn't pay for it, so they don't take care of it like an owner.Before you make assumptions about costs based on a seller's contribution to improvements, find out what they improved? 

I only have one investment property in CA and that's been the most stable and best performing asset out of all of them@Wale Lawal Once this flip gone wrong is taken care of my portfolio will actually be pretty stable.

@Benjamin LarabeeI'll be honest - most bookkeeping companies are not worth the money, so vet them carefully.
