If it is, then I think you accurately assess the situation in assuming you are out lots of money in cleanup and lost rent, are going to make an enemy, and will have to clean up and then remodel, likely at large expense.

HI @Alex Craig and thanks you very much for the comprehensive reply.Thanks to you too @Derrick Craig.Feel free to PM me Rent Trac link you refer to Alex.

Tax assessed value isn't incredibly meaningful here.

You'll use the seller's trailing expenses as a guide but some of their expenses won't matter.Property Taxes:  Use your own estimate of taxes based on the county's procedure for assessing value, reassessing upon sale, and the tax collector's tax rate.
