At the end of the day we did not move forward because of all the possible unknown fixes needed.The ninth one also had bad basement issues that were uncovered.

Statistically, approximately 60% of all returns reviewed uncover overpayments, with refunds due to our clients that average $6,000 plus interest.IF THERE IS NO REFUND – THERE IS NO FEE.

You need to get as good a handle as possible on its actual and potential income, as well as its actual operating expenses (to the extent that you can uncover them) so you'll know what your NOI is.The fact that home-price appreciation is irrelevant to the value of your property is actually a good thing.

Some specific things in different markets are easy points of differentiation, though, like indoor parking or covered parking vs. uncovered outdoor parking, elevator vs. walk-up (if low-rise), construction, amenities (pool, dry cleaner, etc.).

Thanks @Caitlin Murphy and @J Martin for the info.I love this place it's so informative and everyone is so nice.

I'm sure they know there is no lie that wouldn't be uncovered, that has not been an issue.

@Karen Margrave It's so nice to find a fellow developer here who is willing to contribute and share your knowledge.

I intend to buy between one and four properties that may or may not be in the current state I reside in; this is all contingent on the opportunities that present themselves or as I uncover them myself.
