As an investor who orders a significant number of exterior inspections on properties - I wanted to get others opinion on BPO’sPrimarily I find them useless.

The building is in excellent shape with $500k worth of gut renovations done to 2 out of 3 units, and a full exterior renovation. 

Both are huge magnets for professionals to rent.With a condo/TH you'll have to factor in HOA fees, but there are some nice options that would generate higher rents.I have a California-based BiggerPockets client who purchased 8 homes in one year in the Southwest Valley.

You can mitigate risk with exterior cameras and noise monitors.

Dwelling suffered fire damage throughout the interior and exterior affecting framing members, electrical, drywall, and insulation.

We have stared the project about a month ago, completely new interior including adding new HVAC all new electrical, flooring, cabinets, tops and so on along with new driveway exterior paint and some siding.My contractor is also an investor, so we were lucky there, good insight to share and also, he has lots of leads for renters.But he is NOT a good photographer LOL. here are some progress pictures .Also, I will like to share that we are closing on one more single-family property early next week and we have a duplex under contract.

As mentioned, the good ones get $20 or $30 per month increase on 6mo lease, bad tenants get $100 or $200 rent increase.As you are doing exterior renovations, start interiors as tenants move out.

Is the tenant responsible for all interior and exterior pest problems or is it strictly interior?

Agree, with Michael it's the lock since it's exposed to the exterior temperature and not the hub.
