NOTE: if the property has had a flood before and you still decide to move forward with the purchase of the building make sure you get all the history about the flood claim (including the payout) reason I recommend this to all my clients is because the claim (or flooded) information is protected under the privacy act (WAHA) and if you ever have to dispute the government information about the history of the property you will have a long process of trying to get access to the document you need to dispute with the government.

If there is damage it gets repaired and the tenant is billed.You are responsible to insure fire and monoxide detectors are working, you need to make sure there are no water leaks and that everything is working as it should.I personally am very respectful of my tenants privacy but with my property at risk, and knowing the majority of tenants are irresponsible, I need to know for my sake everything is OK.If you are not doing regular inspections you clearly do not care about your investment.
