I feel like the home inspector that did my inspection should have made a similar statement since Polybutylene Pipes are not up to code anymore since 2007 (I bought the condo end of 2017).

The city's code enforcement has been notified re: the boarded windows, and they understand the situation.

an damaged microwave , it smoked from overdraw with running 2 freezers off a unauthorised surge strip outlet on 15 amp an extreme overloads with 6 strip outlets an wires running out door [ many major  fire codes violations] Can the cost on electrician ,that proved the circuits were overloaded   - [an he warned her on nec an fire  codes  an dangers of her overloading outlets, an  the wires going out front door]    on that 15 amp she illegally ran a strip outlet w freezers  an other circuit w 15 plugs on 1 -- be deducted along with the microwave replacement cost since it popped an smoked kicking breaker by her unauthorised freezers?

I'm comfortable running the numbers and understand how to tell if a deal will cash flow or not.As far as affording a 20% down payment, the average property in my zip code is >$1M and I don't have $200k to put down.

No matter where you focus, you'll have company.I buy single family homes in one target zip code, drilling down into a select few neighborhoods by a development I believe is going to create extreme appreciation and elevate the type of tenant looking to occupy the walkable dwellings.

There may be an occasional little city somewhere, but generally they're going to be more strict.

What's the zip code?

I am exploring elk Grove 95757 zip code area to buy investment SFR property.

They come with more requirements and strict livable conditions to be approved.

I understand their criteria's to pass an inspection are strict, but just wondering if its possible.
