My question is, does it matter when I submit my repairs/contingencies list?

By not motorizing the extension and retraction of the deadbolt, battery life is much longer and you do not need to worry about the deadbolt sticking if the door and jamb are a little out of alignment as the building shifts with the seasons.We've had some of these locks in-place for 5+ years.

If you are only turning it on a few hours a month, we are talking pennies of electricity.I have a clause in my lease that states landlord can use power for maintenance, repair and improvements.

That would a be a city repair, not mine. 

@Jose Quintanathe hardest part about flipping now is finding the property that you can buy for enough of a discount to make money after all the repairs, commissions and lender fees.

After repairs I am sitting on upwards of 200k for my first deal.

--Have the seller do some repairs/upgrades (new paint, counter tops, new fence, carpet, etc) and then make the purchase price $140k with seller paying closing costs - therefore the seller will recoup that money after closing and we don't have to do the upgrades and such ourselves. 

Good option if you purchased at a discount, you did not do any repairs to the house (as you can only get back as much as you paid for the house) and you purchases somewhere around 80% of appraised value; because again you can only get out up to what you paid. 2) If the house is worth significantly more than you paid or you put a lot of repair cost; look at doing a cash out refinance.

UNDER ESTIMATE THE REPAIRS AND THE TIME IN WHICH IT CAN GET DONE.

Jacob, Typically the downstairs owner would have to establish that you were negligent in order for your liability coverage to kick in for repairs to his unit.
