@Joe Jor brings up some great points and I like his suggestion for contacting the building dept.You may also be able to negotiate credits or for funds to be held in escrow - until seller removes open permits, violations, etc.Lastly, for estimates on the work that will need to be completed on the property, you could also contact an expeditor who services Westchester.All the best to you on your search!

Since the potential properties can be removed from the list in last min,  my major concern is when i fly in, the properties i'd liketo bid on could be already invalid from the list at auction. 

If they fail the second inspection, I terminate their lease and remove them as quickly as the law allows.

As Greg noted, there is a lot that I would want to be crystal clear on with how it is structured, how you can remove yourself, if needed, how you can change management or sell.

Looks like you removed CapEx in Proforma and increased repairs/maintenance by only $3,500?
