We cleared out mountains of clutter, pressure washed the exterior, and tackled endless repairs.

The problem with that is that I spoke with a bunch of Real Estate Attorneys that assured me they can and do perform the same services (contract negotiations, advising, etc…) and they do it for a fixed hourly rate as opposed to an equity stake.

The property management company has developed a plan to meet this requirement:a) cleaning all windows troughs and sills, scraping and painting of window troughs and sillsb) scraping and painting of all previously painted floor surface that is chipping or peelingc) scraping and painting of any exterior paint that is chipping or peeling including garage decks and house d) scraping and painting of all exterior door thresholds and jams Their estimated to complete this pre-inspection repair work is $500.The certification inspection is $350City filing fee $50Property management coordination fee $50I need to know if this certification is mandatory or not, maybe Cleveland realtor and property manager on Biggerpockets could answer me and clarify my doubts.Let me know pleaseThank you very much

I assume adding an exterior set of stairs is out of the question?

If it has a basement, I'll look for discoloration in the exterior walls, sometimes you can see if there's been water in the basement (where I live sellers are required to disclose water problems).

New construction going for so cheap in this area as opposed to how much new construction goes for New Jersey made me very interested in just purchasing something that is already completely done and hopefully good to go for the next few years.

So is interior and exterior finishes. 

You're situation could be far different, for me I am looking at higher construction costs than you have (most likely) and deals in the area I can put 20% down on as opposed to using the money for another unit. 

I've watched so many BP videos and not once has filing quarterly come up as opposed to annually..   

@Nicholas Jose I would suggest putting a date on the return on the information as opposed to the feasibility phrase.
