@Jovon Itwaru one of the bigger concerns were how difficult it may or may not be to remove bad tenants.

That gives us an opportunity to meet them and do what @John Underwood said and ask if they have any outstanding maintenance issues or concerns. 

That is not the case in CT and the underwriters are concerned about the property going abandoned or the prior owners leaving the property during the redemption period and trashing the place. 

As far as contractors are concerned, I might have a contact or two. 

I would be concerned about the sheer volume of vacant land available in nearby Las Vegas area.

I'm not sure, but I don't think this is one of the bigger concerns.

The biggest concern is the water line is not split.

Fun trick to pay any 30 year mortgage off in 20 years (for the folks that want to be debt free sooner) that should have a minimal-to-zero impact on your ability to deploy capital elsewhere (for the folks concerned about opportunity cost). 

Now, my 2nd Mercury Grand Marquee (1st one rusted dangerously on the frame in 6 months) for under $1700 has lasted me a year now and even being the ugliest car at the stop light doesn't bother me anymore.
