I just wasn't sure if it is my responsibility to do something if the electric bill is high and are not satisfied. do I have to be concerned about that?

The problem is that you don't get an opportunity to do an inspection before you buy.If you buy pre-sale from the owner, you have arrears to bring current, getting the owner to move after you have solved their problem and taken the pressure off, along with the previously listed concerns.

I understand the cost concern.

My concern is whether I’d then be locked into only larger deals in the future. 

Also keep in mind that if the concern is lawsuits, they can still name you individually in a suit and it is just another battle.

My only concern would be whether or not, you’d be able to cash flow.

If they’re concerned about price, offer creative terms like seller financing or a higher price with favorable contingencies.

Beyond immediate safety concerns, the long-term financial implications, including taxes, are a pressing issue for those impacted by the disaster.

I am not very concerned with cash flow and am looking more towards appreciation and equity.
