The other 2 need typical cosmetic work (paint, cabinets, door knobs, faucets, toilets, etc) which I will fly up & do most of the work myself adding even more equity. 

We just need to replace some older faucets that leak, but that is to be expected.One of the heating units needs a new circulator, the HVAC company we use is going to come and install one on Wednesday.The plumber will be back next week to take care of the shower supply and valve that need to be replaced.** Getting the water up and running and those heating systems working properly in the 2 units is a very good sign. 

We can install laminate, swap a faucet or toilet, wire plugs and change out an old 230v a/c to a 115 circuit in no time.

After that, I went through each unit and installed tamper proof aerators on all faucets, along with low flow shower heads.

I recently received the pest & home inspection report and there is faulty grades and the beams supporting floor joists are sagging in between pier blocks with cellulose debris to be removed(major foundation issue), no attic access, door bell didn't work, no ventilation in crawl space, leaking drain line underneath tub, faucet leaks, 2 drawer fronts are broken at bottom of closet, bathroom closet won't latch closed, door in between living room and front porch wouldn't open (I assume this is why the agent had the lock box house key on the back door and used only the back door for showings), most all windows wouldn't open (painted closed during rehab) and missing screens, electrical for entire home was only 100 amps instead of the standard 120/220 or 200/220 (assumed this is why all major appliances were unplugged).

I don't try every faucet or even look under the sink before making an offer (foreclosures excluded of course).

And sinks, vanities, toilets, tub, interior doors, hundreds of LF of trim, faucets, fixtures, caulk and paint, fix the yard and clean.
