Real estate investing is not a cheap date and not only will you have these immediate repairs, you'll have even more that become "discovered" during the process - plus taxes, insurance, more. 

First advice is to NOT set a date as a requirement for buying. 

The only way you'll know the extent is to hire a plumber to evaluate the entire system and be prepared to spend a pretty penny to bring it all up to speed.

Or they may give you a flexible closing date to accommodate your sale.The most important key to the process is that you have a 1031 intermediary in place prior to the closing of your sale. 

If you listed a property for $1000 and said in the listing, we will be accepting best offer by X date, then you could accept offers.

It seems that the advantage you are anxious to pursue is that of speed.

To date, the lack of disclosure and transparency to what is happening behind the scenes is the cause for my concern.Again, thank you all for your replies.

To date, I’ve been using dropbox and making notes, but I haven’t done the best job in the last few months of keeping up.So, my question is versus going back and trying to log conversations, am I just wasting my time?

how much income do you want by these dates?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a property appraisal on your speed dial as well.
