So my main intent in securing the property sooner would NOT be to remove the existing tenants, but rather to:1) Prevent damage to the home caused by a leaking roof or any other little surprises. 

That means that the prior leaks and soil/groundwater contamination have already been taken care of. 

City has called my maintanance manager twice to go and solve critical water leaks when they can't reach the new owners.And we complain about unfair journalism and government oversight.   

I have a leak in my house and need to repair my kitchen.

These could lead to leaks or blockages, requiring costly repairs or replacements down the line.

A leak or busted pipe

We've seen it before, like 2008-1011.I think I detected some sarcasm in there... 

I don’t wonder that the solar panel installer and my roofer would argue over who’s at fault for a leaking roof.

The turnover included several items that caught me by surprise because only 3-4 months prior, I received feedback that the property was very well taken care of so I was not expecting to hear that there was 1) trash and debris, 2) two water leaks, 3) missing handrail, 4) detached door, 5) drywall holes, 6) missing door, 7) missing vanity, and 8) needed paint throughout totaling $3900.

It’s about being smart, skeptical, and a bit of a detective work.
