Good morning @Kevin Vandenboss,I'm looking to do both, but I'm early in my discovery. 

Tenant agrees to pay for repairs of all damages that they or their guests have caused.Landlord agrees to initiate repairs in a timely manner following discovery of the damage or can choose to defer repair until Tenant has vacated the premises.

What you have to watch out for as well is neighboring properties.If contaminants have leaked onto your property you are buying good luck trying to get the responsible owners to fix.Many times it's a vacant gas station or other business facility that is now gone.All things you have to closely look at before proceeding.Unless you are making a huge potential return you might want to pass on this one.Tell the seller "my offer price was based on XX" with the discovery of the tank and cleanup my new offer is XX.Reduce price in highest estimated cleanup "worst case scenario" so if it's not as bad you benefit.

Hi Carol,Please keep us posted on your journey so we can celebrate your discoveries!

Each time I would confront him about it, I received the same excuse “Im working it”, “Don’t worry about it”, “My guys are on it”… Then there was the discovery that I was being charged $300/board to hand drywall!

I came across a house a month or so ago that I had already decided against, but upon discovery of the probability of mold, decided to pass on it.

Once you understand the process I find its fairly easy to navigate but the initial discovery of what needs to happen at what time and how those check points are communicated was for sure a learning curve. 

For another, my occupancy of the MIL is so unpredictable and sporadic that it is hard to develop any rationale for the portion I should pay even if I wanted to do so (but it would definitely be less than the sq ft proportion).So, I was thinking of just laying it on the line for prospective tenants, "yes, you will pay all electric/gas/water/cable/trash, and yes that includes for the MIL suite, but I will pay landscaping ($200/mth) and pest control spraying ($30-$50/mth)".It probably wouldn't deter the discovery of a decent tenant, but I'm fearful I'd be planting the seed for some amount of resentment, whereas if I were to communicate (or treat) the situation differently, maybe I could avoid and have a nice Kumbaya relationship.Any ideas on how I could best handle this situation?  

My BiggerPockets discovery may be one similar to another's.

But I also do not want to be the guy that helps makes this into one of those Discovery Channel show Ghosts stories. :) I think if you do purchase it just show it some respect and not trash all the things that they once cherished.
