The landlord has a vested interest in making sure the property is kept up over time so for routine maintenance I would just handle/pay for the work myself.

Yes, it is true Android runs across a wider spectrum of hardware devices and, consequently, Android apps, need be aware of the platform on which they are running and adjust themselves (display size, networking options, specific hardware devices{GPS, NFC} etc) accordingly.Despite the fact iOS runs on a much smaller, more uniform, set of hardware devices, good development practice would see the same platform awareness measures taken.Fortunately for you, unless you have a specialized need, there are library APIs on both platforms which assist your app to adjust itself to the platform on which is it running.I will admit, I have not played with the BP iOS app to see how it was implemented, but I cannot imagine it requiring anything out of the routine (i.e no special hardware or low-level access required).

A dated-cosmetic fixer is the holy grail for a mortgage backed buyer. 

And of course you have TK companies routinely say they are bringing the buyer "instant equity of "  say 10 to 30%...

It is a row house and looks to be in below average condition, will need some cosmetic work inside from what I could tell on the pictures.

What needs to be reported is that the kid is unsafe and unsupervised routinely. 

My usual rule for the trees are to trim it off from the roof. everything else is more trimming for cosmetics purposes.

The house was built in 2005 and has only cosmetic damage from what I am aware of which doesn't look anywhere near to $10,000 of repairs.

I've budgeted $20,000 for cosmetic repairs. 

I believe its worth far more than 100k and while it has some pictures and needs some cosmetic work and a kitchen re-work, it looks pretty good.As I'm very new (yet to find a property yet or even an agent), is this deep water territory/high gambling and I should avoid it?
