inspect for a leak based on what they tell you and fix it as well as anything damaged by it (paneling, drywall-in that area only, and only if damaged).

The property we are open to different property conditions, whether it is turn-key with renters, vacant in need of repairs, minor cosmetic damage or short sales. 

If it burned it would probably damage my house since they're close together. 

@Jessica Zolotorofe  that what I thought but its not the case in Indiana.. there is no liquidated damages in the RMLS forms.. and they can and will sue you to perform... on 3 homes we had in contract.. my agent and the seller got in a twist ..

If the tenant's holdover is a wilful violation of the provisions of this chapter or the rental agreement, the landlord may also recover an amount not more than three months periodic rent or twice the actual damages sustained by him, whichever is greater and reasonable attorney's fees.

I lived in a 20 bedroom house back in college, and after 3 years we racked up a $70k bill for damages, got kicked out before our term was up, and found ourselves in a lawsuit.

No guarantee they will qualify for financing, Your basically renting the house out and will have damages and a mess when the deal falls through.Better to hire a realtor and pay the commission than get stuck with a deal your gonna be sorry about.

No attorney is going to do that and I'm not positive, but I was under the impression a regular person can't collect the same amount of damages in Indiana.

Probably had broken pipes and all kinds of damage by now

Anyways, we did not find this out until the contractor had gone back to do some work that the buyers had requested as a part of the offer to purchase, and by then the damage had already been done.
