This property has been fully renovated in the interior and exterior hence the lower percentage in the repair and maintenance costs. 

They can't inspect it when it's covered in snow.By observing the roof from the interior, he can determine if it's leaking.

Those beams supported the weight of the floors and interior walls, while the stem wall ringing the home supported the remainder of the weight that the roof system displaced to the exterior walls. 

They must conduct a full Interior/Exterior URAR “As Is” appraisal.https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/apprlook.cfmOnce you provide us with the results of that appraisal, HUD will submit both to the regional Homeownership Center for review and a final determination.

On the interiors, we are doing our typical new shaker cabinets, granite tops, underhung sinks, stainless appliances, new fixtures, flooring, in-unit W/D, and paint.

I have purchased dozens of home without interior access through auction.com, hubzu, xome and I know there are guys making a living at the courthouse steps so I finally decided it was time I start going. 

A lot of hard money lenders today are able to lend on  auction properties depending on the circumstances, but be forewarned there could be a number of issues such as your inability to see the interior and how much it may need or the homeowner may still be present and you may have to get an ejectment after purchasing.In short, I would strongly recommend not purchasing at auctions UNLESS you're going to make it a chief strategy of yours and really put in time learning the details, going to auctions and just watching how they unfold, etc.

Changed a couple of the interior doors that were in bad shape, and one exterior door.

Obviously, with that being my Max offer, and since I haven't had it appraised or even seen the interior, that number could only go lower. 

The basement contractor of course wants to install interior drain tiles and a sump pump to the tune of $9,000.I'm trying to get a gauge of who may have addressed the issue by getting the drain tiles cleaned out?
