If you move your attention to commercial financing, the rules are different and the deal stands on its own merits.

Readers are advised to seek professional advice.

In addition to evaluating the city job growth, you need to pay attention to any major industry or employer that may be responsible for more than 25% of the market, because if the dominant industry or employer is in trouble so is your property (due to layoffs).

Long time reader, first-time poster here..... 

The property has a few items that require attention including:Exposed wiring in the atticInsufficient amount of insulation in the attic (6in. versus recommended 18in.)The fact that there's a water heater in the attic (not disclosed anywhere in the home inspection)The bathtub faucet's water pressure diminishes to nearly nothing due after only a few seconds of it being onThe issues amount to roughly $2,000, but I'd like to seek out recourse given these issues should have been discovered during the home inspection.

A good farm needs frequent and consistent attention.
