The only difference was it had parking for one additional vehicle, the cabinets and countertop are newer, and it has a larger deck. 

It is surrounded by a cabinet shop on the left side, a couple commercial buildings in the back alley that are used primarily as storage for various businesses and a bar on the right side.

The property has 1 move in ready side and one side that is just drywalled - not a cabinet, sink, or fixture to be seen!

There's lots of Rta cabinets out there.

New kitchen cabinets and counters at Home Depot, new vinyl plank floors, new 3 piece bathroom kit, new tiles, new vanity, new paint. 

there is nothing wrong with it, most microwaves have that option and do not have to be vented out, even though as a contractor i prefer them to vent out. if the existing pipe already vents out, which it probably does if there is a pipe in the cabinet already. what you would have to do is unscrew the 2 or 3 screws in the top cabinet that screw down into the microwave ( if not there then there may be 2 bolts in the front of the unit behind the cover that have to be loosened) that will loosen the microwave, then its a matter of taking the screws out that hold the fan at the top back, pull the blower fan out and change the direction so that it faces up, screw the fan back to the unit and put the microwave back up and bolting it. check to make sure the fan connects to the duct work, if not, add a piece of sheet metal to connect and seal that joint. btw you may want to unplug the microwave before doing so, just for safety reasons.

Anyone flipping old houses in Little Rock and surrounding areas, I will take any old metal kitchen cabinets you're getting rid of off your hands, and maybe light fixtures, sinks, etc. too.

I ask because if a house doesn't necessarily need something replaced, for example let's say the cabinets are fairly new, but not brand new.

For example, our cabinetry was 40% less than our lowest proposal because I took the time to go directly to a manufacturer and become a dealer (there's a lot of mark-up in cabinets). 

So new locks are perhaps reimbursable, but new kitchen cabinets would probably not be.You need to look at the applicable Alabama law for tax sales.One of the first things you should do is also ask for proof of ownership.
