Going through the City's website and looking at the neighborhood maps, there is classifications for the neighborhoods.

@Andrew Ramler, I am also in the camp about smoke alarms being the landlord's responsibility simply because if it doesn't function and there is a fire I am fairly sure the liability falls on the landlords. 

The marketing packet I sent to my buyers stated that all mechanicals and electrical were functioning perfectly fine.I stated that my rehab items were optional for my buyer.I didn’t have to do this, but I did, because I realize that some people want brand new everything.This investor has told me that if it’s functioning, then he see’s no reason to replace it.

I also look at numbers based on my tenant class. If

I agree it is backwards and that is usually the first thing my clients question but that's how they function. 

But playing it safe I thought the Investor Psychology Forum would be a good place for me to begin sticking my head out of my shell.So back to Contractors and their vital function to your investment success.I hear lots of investors say I have my contractor or I have a crew ready to go.

Payment is a function of rate, term and amount.  

and the basic functions of your market, along with the ability to adjust the way your financials look to make underwriters happy (paying off some debts, liquidating some holdings, etc.). 

I don't want to replace them as they are functional but need to find a better solution.
