Be proactive, and let him know you’re no pushover and won’t take this situation lightly. 

If you buy something too nice that is also light and compact then a guest may help themselves to it.

I would also add some motion sensor lights to help discourage people from trying to break in / make them re-think breaking in. 

They are also not something you should take lightly since they can cause some serious damage over time.

Hi Ian,You'd probably looking at "light-doc" financing that are currently at 8's to 9's on average at the moment.

Indoor parking will surely be a bonus. 

Thank you for shedding a ton of light on it for me. 

Our traditional tenants handle small things like a light bulb out or running toilet but it's a something we handle for our PadSplit homes.

If it's a unit that you knew you would have to drop $10k or more into when the time came, you may want to ask your realtor (just assuming you have one) to do a re-negotation on price in light of this new info. 

I had the house inspected when I bought it, and nothing really came to light about this.
