No...the lender begins to pick apart the work that was completed by a licensed HVAC tech and the handyman that capped and painted the windows...then they note an 18" piece of trim on an exterior door that may have peeling paint...not in the appraisers report!

Both realtor as well as handyman will be masked.

Call them back and say you want to take it out and buy real estate with it.Then ask them to put in writing that is allowed without penalty...That’s like calling a bank and saying “can I wear a mask in the bank” - the bank says “why yes”.well if you were wearing the mask to rob the bank, that doesn’t mean because they said you could wear a mask you could rob the bank...they said yes because your intentions were to cover your income. 

We then assign each attendee a 10-15 min timeframe in which they can see the house.We leave all doors open so that no one has to turn the door knobs.Gloves, masks and booties are recommended as well.To limit the # of attendees, you may also want to verify that everyone has watched the virtual tour before registering for the OH.Hope this helps!

Wear a mask when you go to someone's house. 

It's typically a chemical process that will peel paint but, unlike mold, doesn't require removal of sheetrock. 

Personally, I am bullish long term on the market, however I do keep my eyes peeled because both on state and local levels, particularly Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia, there's always chirping from the political left about new taxes (one of which I believe just passed and will be implemented January 2020 -  WA State RE Excise Increase) and regulations on Landlords.I'm not totally against taxes, but  the general sentiment seems to be very...

After an accepted offer you can review the leases (I'm hoping they have leases) but that's just a snapshot and honestly won't tell you if the current owners are masking that a unit is behind, on a payment plan, about to be evicted, etc.  

Saying it how she did also allowed her to mask not knowing anything about investment property if that's the case.  

I had to repaint window outside because it was peeling.
