The bathroom tiles wall and floor are in good shape and clean.  

Thank you for putting all the work you put into your book and your content on this site! 

So she's not cleaning uniforms for multiple jobs or anything that would explain running the laundry that often.I want to do my homework before contacting the tenant.

Hello,I'm a real estate agent, my client is selling / renting out an apartment that was occupied by a previous tenant and needs major cleaning, wall painting and fix some lights and a crack on the kitchen backsplash.

I am sure you came across this while googling, but I thought this site was interesting/helpful. http://www.mmac.org/economic-trends.htmlAs a numbers guy as well, I am curious to see what other resources folks on here are using! 

If you have a clean bill of health aka a title policy that says the taxes were paid, you can file a claim with the title company. 

What source/site is best used for finding owners of properties ?

Have you looked on the county assessor site for an owner?

As I said before, there is opportunity here, but there are also a lot of "cheap" old buildings whose locations are even of little value.But you are correct, in the past months, we've seen a lot more "money from away" coming to town and buying buildings "site-unseen".  

Go and fix the problem, you may have to assess it from on site if you plan to fix it yourself it is impossible to tell the fix from this picture but it is something that needs to be fixed.
