I always like to hear his story of sales and how he built his business .. having bought 3 Teslas now I can flat out guarantee for 95% of car buyers they will totally dig that experince.. maybe not the car.. but how you buy one is simply genius.. you go to the show room for a test drive.. you can order it there.. they walk you to the computer and boom 5 minutes its done.. 

The thing that would concern me the most are the smoke detectors in the common areas (hallways and basement). they are supposed to be hardwired and connected. if one goes off all of them should go off. fortunately for you that is something easy to test.

If I am not prepared to pay for turn costs/holding costs then should I go and fix this? 

Hi any recommendations on a tax preparer that specializes in real estate?

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the conversations we’ve had about RE.What should I encourage him to do or be doing to prepare for his first deal?

You have plenty of time to trade into a new property if your prepared. 

As-is is the acceptance of the property in an as-is condition, you can broach your agent about renegotiating but be prepared that the seller will push back and decline or you can walk away and he'll keep your deposit money. 

Although an audit would be the ultimate test of that theory. 

But in general as Alecia mentioned looking for AND TESTING that the houses outlets are 3 wire grounded, not just replaced grounded outlets without the ground wire (very common in cheap fixups).- Galvanized pipe is a certainty and is bad.
