I have several highlighted questions/comments to bring up during the showings but am reaching out to the forums for any added advice in what to ask, see, clarify during the showings. age of roof, rental history/how long tenants stay, do all appliances stay with the purchase, clarify that utilities are separate and the information involved, check the basement, any disclosures?

Then I make sure I highlight any deficiencies in the property.

v=sa3oqP3FGMcRyland, your comment is highlighted with ingenious mirth @ 23:00

Honestly, it's not much "new" information you can't get through the Blog and Forum, but I like having it in one place and ability to highlight and book mark different topics.I found my mentor through BP (also a buyer's agent) and we are working together on the process for a first rental property for my wife and I right now, so I can tell you the connections work! 

I suspect it will be highlighted by the inspector as an issue.

Please note that I highlight the word FEDERAL because it supersedes STATE law. 

O and by the way I have the pages on your book looking like yellow letters with all the highlighting that I'm doing lol.   

Finished the digital version in an afternoon and now waiting for the hardcopy to highlight and bookmark some of the important material I want to remember.
