Per seller house needs new carpet, paint, landscaping, and tile replaced in one bathroom (15-20K?). 

They don't ensure all the nails are up on a demo, the paint scrapings will be there for years to come in the bushes and landscaping.

spruce up the landscaping; new mulch, bright, colorful flowers, but the grass, rake the leaves...replace all lightbulbs with 100w bulbs. 

I think 8% is light If you are looking to go long term. 

if  you notice water coming out of ceiling.. take a screwdriver and puncture a small hole,, maybe several.. grab buckets and let the water seep out..a small puncture hole is easier to fix than a entire ceiling and once it starts to leak it doesn't take long..If it's near a ceiling light fixture watch out !! 

The light rail system is called the T and the dedicated bus line has stations as well.Areas closer to the North Shore are also picking up a bit.

Tenant told me this morning she noticed her garden hose was on and just running water into the landscaping near her front door. 

It helped me see things in a new light and be aware of potential dangers.  

I would be happy to discuss more if you would like, but I figured I would keep it short in light of all of the other excellent information already posted.Good Luck-Adam

That really sheds some light on the situation.
