Book your roofer now if you haven't already. 

Thanks Kevin, this is an REO, so I don't expect much from the seller.Here's my quick and dirty due diligence check list off the top of my head.Structure/foundation--get structural engineer to inspect.Roof--I have a commercial roofer, good on this.

What I need is roofers.

Electricians, Roofers, HVAC most importantly.

Mainly, how do I find good tenant prospects that are genuinely on the mends from their financial situation versus someone that will continue making poor financial decisions down the road. 

It Is like anything else, whether it be attorneys, doctors, roofers, etc. there is good and bad.I strongly encourage landlords and investors when looking for a good property management company to go to the National Association of Residential Property Managers website: www.NARPM.org Good property management pays for itself, while poor property management can cost an landlord thousands of dollars.I sincerely hope you are able to recover the funds.Kevin

I'm a red seal roofer by trade and it sounds to me like you may have a double vapor barrier happening.

Roofers out to fix the roof at 10am on a Wednesday and they wake a tenant up...negative review.All true stories.
