The title report missed the IRS lien and now the bidder is considering filing a motion to vacate.

Filters, refrigerator filters, batteries for smoke detectors and fan remotes, light bulbs, etc.Your list is pretty thorough though, I'd only add to make sure you're doing a semi-annual HVAC maintenance.

I just had an offer accepted on my first property and now am going through all the motions before closing.

We have (3) cameras and (6) motion sensors (one in each unit).

Some offices will hold tenants responsible for their items (like smoke detectors were there on move in but magically they are not there on the yearly, clearly a tenant issue) but generally speaking they hold the owner responsible no matter who actually caused the problem.  

Find some listings online and go through the motions of inquiring about them.

Seems like she knows how to play the system pretty well and I have taken her to court and she missed court date twice but she filed motion to set aside judgement and judge just issued her with another 30days for a different hearing.

Hopefully I'm not too naïve to think we can vet the renters, put specific family and neighbor friendly language in our listings, and put protections in place (noise detectors, people counters, etc.) to shutdown problem renters immediately.

For example, here's a short list of things we'll be looking to update while living in the unit:- Clogged upstairs bathroom drain-Need bathroom fan- Bathtub porcelain chipped- Broken balcony door- Broken kitchen window- Missing smoke detectors- Redo kitchen floors- Refinish living room floors- Paint in all rooms- Improve kitchen cabinetsWe don't have a specific $$ budget, but we're always looking to keep costs low while providing quality.
