I do point out that the dog crap all over the carpet is fine and the cockroach infestation is something I will take care of..I solve problem...

As-is just means that you can't sue him if it falls down after closing from a termite infestation. 

But the house has been unoccupied for 4-5 years, is infested with mold, has a lot of structural damage from water and ice due to multiple roof leaks, and the septic system hasn't been used since the previous owner passed way.The property generates a lot of interest... from first time home buyers attracted to the lower price-point.

The key takeaway here is that you always want to be a "welcomed guest", not an "unwelcomed pest".

I hired the two specific contractors and a pest control company.

I couldn’t even imagine the power that tenants could have if they wanted to make a fuss out of a mouse infestation, even though this is a very common issue in multi family (especially in our neck of the woods, I dealt with this myself last year…) and you have done everything in your power to try to counter the problem.

The inspectors from the pest control company did not discover this infestation under the bricks on the walkway to one of the units.  

As a new investor with a limited amount of time to perform maintenance and coordinate pest control, pool cleanings, landscapers, etc…..I am more than happy to pay an HOA fee and make zero phone calls to maintain my property. 

Even if you have a secure network, your tenant's PCs could be infested with malware, viruses, etc. that cause problems.
