I know lumber has come down significantly and have been reading due to a slow down in the market there is over supply coming from the lumber mills. 

I had already been doing projects on the house and over the course of about 8 years I had made quite a few improvements.

If it was installed properly just over a year ago, the company who installed it should be willing to fix it unless it is the tenant's fault. 

Home Inspections are waay different than a walk-through.As someone who has done over a thousand of these, I would say the house should be emptied out if at all possible.

Our longest took over a year in the boroughs.

We see this over & over, again & again - someone posts they need help finding a property and suddenly, every agent out there is "Investor-friendly".Funny thing is, RARELY do you see an agent sharing what qualifies their claim.In our experience, +95% of agents only know how to deal with owner-occupied transactions.

I have done this a ton over the years..

I have templates of contracts to set up but a direct contact to go over some things would be perfect.

So I throw them a bone and take money off rent for them to work on them over time.

Don't over leverage your primary residence.
