I can but to be clear I never buy a property without at least inspection contingencies.

Just be sure to have a great inspection done and have reserves in case you have to evict the tenant.

do I now Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA) form so HUD could come inspect the property and starting collecting rent (assuming inspection is passed)?

Like most states, Georgia gives you the legal right to enter for inspections, repairs, or showings.

Hi All,Under contract for my first ever investment property, and the inspection results just came back.

Let's assume there is no CO obtained immediately after the sale (will do later after repairs are done), and no township or local-level inspections requested.Is the township automatically notified by the county of the sale or is there some mechanism by which they would learn about the sale and update their records, other than by the buyer telling them about it, or applying for a CO? 

Lead-based paint and asbestos are other potential issues with older properties, so get an inspection to assess any environmental risks.

I sent certified mail mid september that was returned from the post office. i eventually flew drove down to the property in beginning of October to post eviction notice on garage and front door. i inspected the property that seemed half way abandoned.

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

Being a remote investor will cost you more as you will need services at the location and someone trusted to handle deliveries, replenishing supplies, turnover inspections, etc.
