Any work that was completed on your potential home would have required a permit. These permits will show on the property's title report. It’s great to read through them to understand the extent of construction that wa...

I told his realtor (his realtor is representing both of us, i know big mistake) he failed to disclose that within the time contingency written on contract but hes saying "that would be hard to prove".I really don't mind walking away, but I've already paid for inspection and appraisal plus travel costs, time taken off work, etc.

Because I paid cash I didn't have an inspection which probably would have found the foundation problems.

We went to the city, spoke with someone and they said to pull permits and they'd inspect.

I will list it for sale in MLS once the move out inspections have been performed by the PM and make ready(if any) is completed.

Maintenance,preventive maintenance has caught my attention.Although I can't become specialized in all of them (it requires continous learning) ,what I learn I implement at my job .My daily chores are:-repairs (light electrical work,light plumbing work, patching the flat roof,drywall repairs,sheetrock repairs,etc)-maintenance (painting, cleaning,light labdscaping)-preventive maintenance on pumps,tanks,gears that are vital to the daily property operations-find ways to increase heating efficiency and lower the cost at the same time-find ways to lower water consumption in the building and energy (electric and gas) consumption-increase the buildings occupants comfort-increase the NOI for the landlord-collect the rent-resolve tenants issues-basic inspection (I look for air leaks, gas leaks,water leaks) (of course a property inspector has much more skill in doind that than me)All of that brings me joy in my life, but it doesn't bring a high income (because I don't have a specialized skill)So I would love to find a way to acquire a property and put my skills into my properties.Thank you for answering, John

There is no knob and tube wiring anymore and the duplex passed safety inspection from the city's rental inspection unit.

It should way longer than you need if you’re simply talking inspections/rent roll kind of things. 

Do your normal analysis and inspections.  

A lot of auctions do not allow inspections prior.
