It's odd it would all of a sudden go from working to unfixable.

I needed a place to stay and was tired of having a landlord that would lack communication or allow repairs to go unfixed for months.

Why are they just sitting un-fixed-up while Single family homes get the bulk of the attention.Any input on this is appreciated.Also, I did a quick mock-up of one I found online--it would definitely be a lot of work to get that many units back up and rented.It looks like 30 or so units.

You can't leave the place unfixed for x months till you got the money to fix it...#5 Run with the usual figures but consider the buildling's age and overall condition, of course.

If this is the case could this be a big problem that is unfixable?

We'll more than likely be asking for a lower purchase price at this point, but if she denies lowering the price should we just close and take legal recourse against her if the damage is still present/ unfixed? 

It seems like a good program to me, though there is a mandatory inspection every year, I see it as preventing bigger expenses that occurs when some small things go unnoticed or unfixed.

MMS - it is there on pretty much any phone plansI am not an out of state landlord but I travel a lot so I have trained them to use the above tools.In addition I do the following:have the renter pay for the first $100 of any repairsIf the repair is under $100 - they should find a repairman and fix it themselves.If the repair is due to negligence (or not willing to repair the problem while it was small) they pay 100% of the cost.I do regular checks to make sure there is nothing broken(unfixed).I send them a letter every 3 months asking for things that are not working/operating properly.

Also, people waiting for FEMA to give them a large check to fix their house will wait a long time as our flood was over a year ago and many people who didn't have flood insurance and didn't have their own money to fix their house are still living in their gutted unfixed houses currently. 

Things like male/female, dogs but no cats, fixed or unfixed, how well the dog is behaved etc.
