Specifically for this property, I’m putting on a new roof, and it has updated circuit breakers, furnace and water heaters.

If a paying tenant not raking leaves or cleaning out dryer lint is a deal breaker for you I think you're in the wrong business.

So, "evict" is not an option for our HOA.The tenant pays for electricity in his unit directly to PG&E (utility); he does not have a circuit in the carport area, where he charges his car.We are leaning toward lockboxes on outlets in carport area, hopefully a simple solution, but probably not, if owner engages an attorney.Will probably file a Lien for the estimated amount due from tenant's past charging.Will also post notices.Stephen

These wouldn't necessarily be deal breakers if the price was right, but something to consider because they can get expensive to deal with. 

Hey guys I am prospective new home owner who's about to sign a purchase agreement for single family home 1931 old house with reletviltly old tile roof last done about 30 years a go the house is elevated about 6.6ft recent quotes had gave me about 24k in insurance while old owner pays 8400 and some other friend of mine who just finished renovating his house pays around 12kwhat am I missing here as this would be a deal breaker for me the house purchase price is 1mil

May not be a great one, and I may still leave some money in the deal, but that's not a deal breaker for me.

The market here seemed especially difficult to turn a profit on so I learned to hone in on a few budget breakers beyond the sale price: taxes too high, HOA fees, rent too low and properties with deferred maintenance (lots of stuff needing replaced).I finally found my diamond in the rough in late 2016.

Our concerns were as follows:1) Heat and A/C are 22 years old and will need to be replaced almost immediately.2) From photos, it looks like there are some trails from termites...nothing mentioned about it though on the report so maybe they're old trails.3) Exhaust fan from bathroom not ventilated properly, which I know isn't a huge deal.4) All of the piping is galvanized steal and definitely rusting, so will have to be replaced at some point...not too sure when though5) Is is only a 60 amp breaker panel so I believe the electric would have to be updated, as well as run grounding wire to the outlets.I'm deciding what my strategy should be seeing that I'm already stretching the budget (not unsafely) just to cover the down payment and closing costs.

Also, if you run a circuit to that room for outlets use a licensed electrician.  

Even if my friends don't care on the large (which I assume most of them don't), I find myself feeling guilty for the way I seem to have "short circuited" the game, for leaving others behind, for being the standout.
