But I haven't cracked that yet.

I'm not sure if many people are aware of the use of a conditional order of dismissal to crack down on lease violations.

Either way, I know of someone who had a new unit installed and inside the condenser was a cracked line where the Freon was leaking out.  

Plus, public records did show issues regarding the building beyond two lawsuits over cracks in a unit’s exterior wall, and a structural engineer had warned of major structural damage below the pool deck several years ago.

Syracuse isn’t tiny.

The buyers got a VA loan so EVERYTHING had to be fixed, including $5000 to an engineer to fix a cracked truss tail, $25k to replace 2 boilers What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The property needs repair, things like roof, electrical fixtures, paint, crack repair, new appliances etc.

So my questions is: Does anyone have any creative ideas to ensure I have first crack at future properties? 

The city of Lake Geneva has cracked down on short term rentals to the point that it is difficult to make a go of it.
