When you click search on any county in any state it filters your background check against every single vacancy in that county.

I know some people (some are good friends of mine that I respect) teach this type of transaction, I personally feel it muddles the water, and is overcomplicated. 

By the looks of your photo, you likely have some water damage behind it anyway so demo would be the only way to fly in my book. 

The only exception is WATER WATER EVERYWHERE!!!!

To me that's just not acceptable.In the case of that one offer letter I went to see a property and it was badly damaged by water and had lots of mold.

No public water or sewer is available yet on that side.

I'm guessing $250-300 per month for electric and $75 per month for water/sewer, based on public information and experience.  

There are also 3 garages beneath the units that could be rented out as well to get additional income.His monthly bills are (mortgage, insurance, water and interest) are $2590,-He is paying for all utilities which i think should be decided amongst the tenants. 

New water heaters..Plumbing is OK, brass water piping needs replacement.So what I originally thought would make a great deal, has turned somewhat OK to maybe bad.  

Look if you are living in America with running water and electricty much less heat, hot water and a refrig/tv you are living better than royalty a couple hundred years ago.
