I am currently investing in Cape May and Atlantic county.There are tons of ways to get involved and surround yourself with other investors that are doing it and doing it well.Kurt Kwart is an amazing resource that hosts investor panels as well.

Turns out the panel was old and not wired properly.

The finishing panels that go on the ends of the on-the-shelf are horribly cheap, the buildup is too thin and the self-adhesive is a joke.Considering the price difference, I won't go the off-the-shelf again unless we're talking some tiny section of counter that needs to be added, an island, etc.

bottom panel is a different shade of brown so I have to repaint the entire door unfortunately.    

@Michael Dang I used to work with MBCI in Houston on metal roof and panels for my projects, but it's been a while.

Here is a part of the letter, I sent to the seller:The home inspection was completed on September 29th (please see attached) and the following issues were pointed out: 1.The wooden floor frame in the middle unit is deteriorating due to either prior water leak in the bathroom or due to moisture infiltration through the walls and foundation.2.There is evidence of significant settlement under the middle unit bathroom and north closet.3.The settlement of the floor and walls has also resulted in settlement of the roof frame above this area, ceiling shows cracks.4.There is an obvious depression on the roof – water is ponding on the roof above the middle unit, which adds excessive weight on the roof and potential for leaks.5.Asbestos containing material has been found.6.The current bedroom heat installations in the north and south units pose a safety hazard from carbon monoxide, fire and oxygen depletion.7.An electrician performing upgrades did not use ‘arc fault breakers’ in the north and south unit breaker panels, which is required by the national electrical code.8.Upgrades to the electrical system, promised by a real estate agent, have not been completed yet.

Since all the mechanicals are in the basement it goes without saying that the furnace, water heater, and electrical panel will all need to be replaced.

I'm very green as far as mortgage tips and tricks as this is only my 2nd mortgage.I'm currently updating parts of the house such as a full bathroom gut on the main floor, new water heater, softener, fuse panel, radon mitigation system, windows, paint, flooring etc. 

What about white soffit panels to match the roof? 

As a tenant I have always been very easy and non confrontational, but after I found out my land lord, who is my neighbor, was running their jacuzzi off of my electrical panel, I've always had to question their integrity.
