Hard to buy anything here in this area just off listings.

I found a house that I'm interested in and my agent has gotten me a list from the city inspectors as to what needs to be fixed/replaced (obviously I'll need to do wayyyyy more renovation than what's on the list, but it's a good start without ever being at the house so far). 

Revise the existing lease, cross out the PM's name, insert yours, and you and tenant initial.

I have suspicions that my 2nd renovation draw went towards another property higher on their priority list which seems illegal, but I could be wrong. 

Not bad.Also, here is the IRS Pub 925 that has the list from Zachary above.
