Once you have you team, all you need to make sure is that the property is in a good location, cashflows positive, has equity at purchase looking at comps, and making sure the mechanicals are good. 

I have been purchasing in Columbus, Ohio since 2017 and am still finding opportunities

Thinking of purchasing a multifamily in the area as I am also from NYC. 

If the appraiser marks the report subject to you will have to fix the noted items before you can close the loan, and then the appraiser will have to go back out to certify the repairs have been completed. and yes, of course, will charge a trip fee to do this.

A couple years ago, the CN railroad purchased a large parcel of land (40+ Ac) that included a small farm with a couple barns and an old farm house in one corner of it.  

@Christopher Phillips   maybe i'm reading this wrong, or it works differently in NY, but a 6% seller concession normally means the seller is giving the buyer 6% of the purchase price to use however they want in the transaction - be that for closing costs or principal reduction or down payment, whatevs.A seller typically doesn't have a say of what can and can't be included in the borrowed amount, that's up to the lender and the loan program. 

I would like to purchase soon and the properties that I find will be vetted by the group of investors that have 20 years of experience.
