If you are staying in an a place for 2+ months, you don't care as much what it looks like, you care that it is comfortable and functional.

Prior to making your offer, you should be able to visually assess the condition.

How does that function in my taxes since I claim the house on my taxes.

You can use the search function and possibly find the threads.

Home buyers are very easily visually influenced.

But this is quite uncommon, also because it sounds like it would affect multiple buildings on your street that are probably functioning quite well already.I’m a real estate agent in the city, is it listed yet?

It will increase the value the of the property, not only functionally, but visually.

TBD but so far property is fully occupied, functional and cash-flowing.

I held onto the management function too long because my units were close by and I thought I could manage better.

Or, keep collecting partial rent for next few months till court system is fully functional and scheduling prompt hearings again?
