For example, if it is from cooking, install/upgrade stove fans and honestly tell them that the aroma is bothersome.

Out of the 15 years the seller has owned the complex, there has never been a fire incident under their ownership until this year.I was planning to upgrade all the electrical anyways in each of these units, but how should I approach handling this fire incident in light of closing?

I bought this place sight-unseen through a "normal" realtor, One side had solid tenant (20 years), while the other was kind of upgraded, but the owner gave up on the process.

It needed about 40K to add egress windows, put in baseboard heating, upgrade the electrical panel, landscaping, and add a bedroom.

We ended up putting a new roof and asphalt after we closed along with other upgrades and they didnt have a problem insuring from the beginning even though the building was in rough shape at purchase.

I'd say a solid volume of comps, and factor in rate differences, capex upgrades & basic things like inferiority or superiority of the locations assuming price per sq ft, size, etc. are comparable.

Unless you're doing the whole house I'd shop around and see if a local guy can replace the broken ones.

This may not be a big deal or it could be, but I would not know what all repairs need to be done other than what I see on the surface and where to get ideas for the upgrade design for a fixer upper. 

It's to a point where I only trust my licensed brother and his guys.Just recently I tried to get a plumber to fix a broken boiler at one of my properties.
