It may be time to find a new PM.If the tenant put a hole in the tub, that is beyond ordinary wear-and-tear.

Then create a patio/entry for each lower unit by a simple screen of an above-ground planter from the post to the stairs, or maybe at an angle to where the stairs begin.The rest is comparatively very simple... don't paint the brick, do the siding in a darker dusty green, the window muntins in a very dark gray (it'll match the black powder-coated hog wire balusters), get a very LARGE round fake attic vent for the gable,https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2196/8707/produc...and install a clete at the bottom of the gable which will look like a horizontal supporting member for the second-story columns.Lose those shutters, paint the entry doors a very deep, rich color, with the first and second story doors slightly different.

The house that i am looking into buying is in centerpoint alabama and purchase price at $100k.The major concern that i am having are:The roof is at end of life.floor joist needs to be install due to flooring bad deflectionThere are broken cement at the patio / deckPossible water leak to the basement walls.i just don’t want to be the person who ends up with the expenses the previous owner should be taking care of.Can you give an advice on how to deal with this property?

If there are any obvious issues like posts that are unsupported, joists that look not connected or cut, cracks or crumbling in concrete or block walls, anything that looks wet or signs of pests.I also keep an eye out for what feels like unpermitted additions or covered patios.

This would definitely make it worthwhile to sell, because I was all-in for Duplex C for $165K, can perhaps sell for $185K after closing costs, and that would put me at $20K profit (which will be taxed, short-term ordinary income bracket). 

@William DeLucaIt's like an ordinary bank loan but you have to negotiate with the owner on the details.How much do they want for a down payment?

I asked my agent to shift the order of some of the photos and add a photo of the backyard patio space yesterday.

Want to finish the outside concrete patio as one last large project and be done with improvements.Hindsight:  Should have went with a 3-4 unit place but just glad to get started. 

Also, as a non smoker, if you're on your balcony/patio area and they are smoking, the smoke always makes it's way over to you.

On moveout there was paint on the patio pavers, which in not atypical, and the stove top needed replacing.
