Electrician said NEC would allow replacement of outlets with GFCI and "no ground" label.

One of my main premises has always been... that the qualified buyer is the most important ingredient of any transaction and that you the buyer should get whatever you want in the way of representation.

You can also label these "inspections and furnace filter changes" to give your self a reason other than just making the tenants think you are snooping around.Any other questions feel free to reach out to me individually to connect.

We probably should have countered with our initial offer minus this difference, but I could tell my RE agent partner was really apprehensive about doing that (Portland is a hot market, and for a listed duplex in close-in NE Portland, $201k is pretty low . . . ) so I split the added repair costs in half on a line labeled, "buyer's share of unexpected costs."  

Homes on slabs can be ground level - that opens up the concept of elderly housing or handicapped housing and you may find some more resources available if you label it as such.

I would not feel bad pushing him for copies of this utility bills.As for the tenants have you thought of allowing him to label the tenants #1 - #10 so he can share info earlier in the process. 

I still label myself and introduce myself as a real estate investor because I feel that is what I am doing - making money or not.If you two aren't real estate investors - then I'm in trouble.Thanks for all you  do!

To further what Jay Hinrichs mentioned on not being present at closing, ask your lender and their suggested closing attorney if/how they do mail away closings - the one I just worked with a client (buyer from CA) on the closing attorney emailed the paperwork to the buyer with an overnight shipping label. 

Label everything.

I work in data science and analytics and am appalled at what people use to label a deal good or bad.
