That's a great idea but have never heard of where you could get this info.See if power, gas or water companies would tell you.

Keep in mind we do not have known cost amounts for these repair items, and can just make estimates, and hope no other costly issues are uncovered after attacking some of the repairs.My question is, with our next interaction with the selling agent, should we:A) Ask for the major repairs be metB) Ask for a decrease in agreed upon price (without great idea of what the repairs will cost)C) A combination of both; settle with some repairs met, and a decrease in priceOur entire list is below: (keep in mind that I am not sure if all of these things need direct attention to get the unit rent-able, or if some items can be overlooked for now and deal with later as they become more of a problem)Repair List:Items that need attention before renting unit:Big Ticket Items:Install furnaceInstall all new appliancesInstall water heaterExterior electric power supply is damaged, needs repairInstall guttersNo termite treatmentNo gas meter, install newAttic decking has moisture damage, needs repairSmaller Repair Items:Install electric panel faceplate and secure exposed wiresTwo prong outlets (could not test), swap out, install GFCI where neededTrim tree limbs in contact with power linesMissing light cover under front entranceRepair kitchen windowsRepair kitchen sink leakRepair utility room leakInsulate atticSeal gaps in living room doorLoose bathroom faucetAdjust shower water pressurePatchwork performed in multiple rooms, walls are plaster on wood lathe- which I have been told can have asbestos issues once opened upDeferred Cost Items:Large tree removalTorn and missing roof shinglesSeal plumbing boots on roofRaised soffit under car portSecure electrical lines in attic, they run over attic stringers, not through them (necessary?)

I would have had the seller sign a 3rd party authorization and limited power of attorney when we closed on the sale.

The only tricky part here is i need electric obviously to power the pump on the well and I’m not sure how that would work if there are 2 units.

With powerful stories, humor, and insight, Rock’s story is one you won’t want to miss!

Also if they are trying to mow really long grass or wet grass the electric ones don't have the same power and they could kill it quickly, leaving me stuck replacing it. 

Most cash investors will take anything at the right price but big red flags would be major roads/ freeways, backing commercial or heavy duty power lines, and houses that are too small for the area, lately it seems popular to flip 3br 800-900 sqft houses which would be a pretty cramped home for most people, usually the buyers there are owner occupants. 

This is cheap with battery-powered materials, if your local code allows it, significantly more expensive with hard-wired models if your local code doesn't allow them.

Go ahead and call me a left winger (I am), but I think we need good regulations which are actually enforced in order to not have the most powerful entities take advantage of individuals.Yes, I am glad I that in my case I only lost money on the due diligence. 

And more than anything else they respond to being treated like important people by those that they believe have money, class, and power.
