So we need 3 maintenance incidents per week, personally handled by your wife.

And always have reserves to handle any unexpected issues.

My Property Manager isn't sure how to handle this, either, so I thought I would ask the community. 

This gives you a foundation for making a fair offer.Secure Financing: Be prepared to show you’re a serious buyer with funding lined up, whether through cash, traditional financing, or a creative option like seller financing.Have a Strategy for Repairs or Development: If the property is distressed, outline how you’ll handle improvements to bring it back to productive use.
