Verify air filter has been changed regularly.

The basics of course, but there is an air fryer, crockpot, 2 level steamer, wok, electric griddle, and the list goes on.

You certainly won't say I paid to thin air.

If your buying a building that’s $500k, you need to be getting at least $5k a month if not more or it’s not worth looking at in my opinion unless there is some other revenue source (ability to add bedrooms or units, air bnb) or you can increase rents substantially.

I don’t know about Ohio but here in California a property must have a heater to be habitable, however air conditioning is entirely optional.  

There are a couple air bnbs that seem to do okay but there is nothing unique about them.What I'm asking for is help/thoughts/ideas with this:1. 

For the case of the typical OOS RE investor who would be hiring out work to contractors or using their PM’s maintenance staff for all repairs, I hold my estimate costs and process that derived it is fairly accurate and easier to justify then pulling numbers out of the air. 

I pay for the lawn care, pest control, Surevestor, actually replace the air filters, and that's the only fee an owner ever pays. 

Check smoke detectors and air filters on HVAC systems.  

A little about me: I'm a two-time combat veteran with the US Air Force.
