I do not know the condition of the roof but the top floor tenant owns the rooftop deck on the roof (however, I may still be liable for roof repairs?)

It will show you repair deductions, so you can get an idea of whether the tenants were constantly breaking door knobs, doors, faucets, etc or whether the repairs look more like non-tenant caused problems like electrical or roof issues. 

I'm also able to handle repairs and add some sweat equity to get this moving quicker. 

All you want is to repair any sections you need to (you'll probably find some after you sand), sand it down just enough to remove obvious signs of wear, putty up and color the gaps, and seal in place with a thinned sealer coat of oil-based polyurethane and three more coats.

Hello All: A while back I read a post about advice to landlords and PM's to advertise units under renovation or repairs units ASAP - like when the previous tenant gives notice or is evicted - even when renovations are planned, not completed.

This is to count for vacancy, repairs, etc.Again, I haven't been in the mortgage business in a long time, but I also believe with a 4 unit, FHA caps the loan amount at 90%.

ie, buyer must complete repair A before date B or they are in breech of contract and the property reverts back to you. 

I pay mortgage, taxes, insurance, repairs, management, etc.Account B: Tenant security deposit is held separate from all other funds to ensure I don't spend it.Rent income should be more than enough to cover the mortgage so why are you putting money into the account?

Some other items came up that needed repaired and I've used the property for other purposes since then.

When he became incapacitated and could no longer visit his unit, approximately 7 years ago, another family member, who had assisted him in maintaining the building, began utilizing the space for storage, vehicle repairs etc.
