The other area I find that is not properly addressed is the Loss Assessment coverage.  

I've been in contact with a couple of real estate agents about the proper steps to take in acquiring. 

But personally, if it was getting me more rent/was an A-class or B-class I would repair the floor properly from the start. 

This halfplex was a pocket listing at my brokerage, i had to time to think and analyze the deal properly How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Your deposit is going towards your down payment so as long as you use your due diligence period properly there isn't a huge downside. 2.

The issue is almost always price, assuming you are properly advertising.

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

It should be in your lease that you have right to show the property with proper notice, whatever that is legally in TN.

The servicers are worth their weight in gold. 

The best way to get over it is to gain confidence in the numbers, get confidence in the assumptions, and most importantly get proper expectations on what a buyable deal looks like.
