What is most important is the investor finding out what the actual condition of said property is.

My primary focus for this investment is on long-term appreciation potential and leveraging rental income to pay down the mortgage, in this case I have no cashflow.Given the current market conditions, I understand that cash flow might not be immediate, but I'm more interested in the potential for appreciation over time and the ability to offset expenses through rental income.

I think I will be going with a mesh I use to keep critters from getting under sheds.The doctor in this case wrote a note that the patient's condition would benefit from having an emotional support animal.

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

This is and I say this with extreme emphasis NOT the time to be learning, the market is wayyyy to unpredictable, I mean the material market, weather my suppliers can't commit to a price for more then a few days or the item is 3 weeks out.

Love to hear your thoughts- AC unit needs to have an exterior side panels and brackets to support to secure the unit- Do not screw into the window sash as this will damage the window and you will be responsible- Install weather striping to avoid water or critters from entering your unit- Unit needs to be tipped towards the outside to avoid condensation and damage to floors- Landlord is not responsible for their Air conditioning unit if broken- Tenant is responsible for window, floor, ceiling damages caused by poorly installed window unit- Window unit should not be installed before May 1st and must be removed by Oct 1st

What are the new costs, terms, conditions, years?

Videos can help give you a decent idea of the condition, but I always recommend getting a home inspection or having a noninterested third party view the property.

Crime is everywhere but do other cities have the weather we do, the culture, the resilience, and the untapped potential that we have in ABQ? 

My plan was to keep renting the house, however, the property manager has given us an estimate upwards of 30k in repairs for it to be in rentable condition again.
