Maintenance is on us in MF for the common areas (weeding, trimming, external lighting, hallway cleanliness, carpet cleaning, salting sidewalks, etc.), whereas in SFH I just let my tenants take care of all of that.

If the house is in good shape and needs no repairs and you can get in light, as long as the financing allows for really good cash flow, it can still be a deal.

Simple tasks such as hanging blinds, recaulking a bathtub, changing light bulbs.

Is a 3rd required for common areas and exterior lights?

Grateful for any light you could shed on some suggested details.  

Kevin Sobilo, if you will do a BRRRR, new appliances will give you a better appraisal value, or a lightly used stainless steel appliances will do the trick,keeping the cost low?  

Tenant's idea of recessed lighting:

Do I need a licensed electrician to repair a light fixture.

HUD approval generally is provided 72 hours prior to closing for the green light to close so it seems like you may be confusing terms as a buyers inspection would already be done by this point. 

Zillow presents their Zestimate to the public in big bright lights, but buries the disclosure.
