although if this is starter home type land margins are thinner on those than custom to semi custom.

At walk through, fan blades were all caked with dirt, cobwebs and dustbunnies abound, hardwood and tile floors hadn't been swept or mopped, countertops not wiped, exterior of kitchen appliances not cleaned, stove top still semi dirty (stove was brand new a year and a half ago but she claims "it wouldn't wipe off"), kitchen sink with soap debris on it, food stains splattered on kitchen backsplash and baseboards, bathtub not cleaned, closet floors/shelves/blinds/windows not wiped down, and my favorite - remains of a carcass of a hawk (feathers and...?)

I'm in semi rural Maine and I have one for $16.

I use a very light blue eggshell with semi-gloss bright white woodwork, doors, etc.

This may be quarterly, semi-annaully, annually or even weekly (for homeless here).

If Ikea doesn't have a door style you like or you want solid wood, painted or custom one of a kind finish check out, Doors your way Portland, Kokeena doors Portland, Dendra doors Eugene, Semi hand made Palm Springs.  

If I was a betting man, and had only this picture to make my bet, I would say that this is an freeze-thaw crack - pressure from the soil outside the foundation pushing inward (hence the semi-circular pattern - not stair-step, not vertical or horizontal), so it might be a matter of some exterior grading/drainage work followed by an epoxy grout crack filler repair to remove moisture.I recommend you get it checked out - put a contingency in the contract that covers your bases, so you're only out a couple hundred bucks for a structural inspector. 

I'm semi-new to the area myself.

If there was some formula or model we followed with our rentals to make them easier to maintain, while still appealing to our customers (tenants), it would be using a satin or semi-gloss paint sheen for the walls (easier to clean up scuffs, dust, etc.), darker earth-toned carpets with a random pattern (helps hide stains), ceramic tile in high traffic areas, and cheap (but attractive) fixtures for lighting and plumbing.
