My realtor did a walk through via FaceTime and the property seemed to be in great condition.

I think the trouble I might have with that option is the current condition of the house.

The overall property condition was worse than I imagined.

Another option could be to submit a conditional offer that each of those items are fixed before closing by a licensed and insured professional (if that is important to you).

It was buildable condition. i am thinking to re-erect the old house somewhere in Columbia County. how to find a master preservation carpenter, who can assemble the house at a reasonable price.

For your first property, you probably don't want a major renovation project but if say 2-3 units are in great condition and you need to fix up 1-2, this wouldn't be a big deal.

They knew what the property looked like when they rented it and unless the condition of the tree has changed (ie a branch died or is now hitting the house), I'd leave it.

This includes examining the structural integrity, plumbing, electrical systems, roof condition, HVAC systems, and any other significant features.Title Search: Hire a title company or attorney to perform a title search on the property.

I buy property in AS-IS condition.

I will gladly take on the extra work of owning RE, given that, even with more difficult conditions, RE still has a very high probability of delivering me outsized returns over my investing career.
