I have been a mail carrier in Redding, CA for the last 3 years.

Lastly, what are major red flags on an inspection report to look for and what are not big deals?

I don't see anything in your post that would be a red flag for commercial.There are certain fees you cannot get a multiple discount on... for example, you will have to get an appraisal for each property, title fees will be per property, pre-paids (taxes and insurance), etc... you can't get any big discounts on these.. they are what they are. 

These cities tends to command quality tenants and they have great schools.In regards to the FHA loan, The FHA 3.5% is very difficult to get accepted contract in this highly competitive Red HOT Real Estate Market across the major metros in the country.I will suggest you get a 5% Conventional Financing.

@Rashee D.She crossed the red line and lied.

After the work is finished to your satisfaction, you pay him for it.Any handyman offering to rent cheap in exchange for some labor is a red flag.

This last Winter it was red hot and has been like that all year

The management company said it was in working order, so why costs to repair and red flags that the cost is split as another resident damaged it...what is the truth-it was fine or it was damaged already or did it damage another person's car as well?

I am looking to divest and cash out on one of my properties in Redding area, Cincinnati.
