The purchase transaction was through a surplus land auction conducted by the City of Coeur d Alene.

Conduct inspections that include safety issues like checking fire alarms, etc.

Roll a dice.Unlicensed tax preparers can volunteer to take some annual education, pass a test and adhere to that professional code of conduct I mentioned (Circular 230).

Credit score must be a minimum of 640.A background check will be conducted on all applicants over 18.

I also conduct frequent Market Analyses of my property types to make sure the rent raise is in line with the market so that they cant easily find a cheaper or even equivalently priced unit. 

Has anyone conducted Ellis Act to convert the property into condos?

So far it seems my play is to:post MLSlockboxgo up and conduct my own showing in a month or so (next time I'm in town).Any other thoughts about what I can do?

I think this inspection and how it is conducted is the most important part of your rental strategy (besides carefully screening tenants). 

My lease states that no business can be conducted on my property. 

Let me know if you discovered anything else worth doing :)Check if the bank has made any repairs to the homeCheck if the bank has conducted an inspection we could seeCheck the Bank's purchase priceIf the property has any liens on it (http://www.searchq.com/ or https://nextace.com)Should we try and make the Bank an offer prior to the auctionWe'll need to call the title company and verify who owns it (confirm the situation)We'll need to verify we can buy title insurance at closingCheck in with a real estate attorneyDecide if I want to pay for a home inspection or appraisal prior to auction (really not sure on this one - auction is as is no contingency)Estimate the potential rental income for property and run numbers on max purchase price that will support my desired CF given any needed renovationsBest - David
