If the doorbell was non-functional when she rented the house, and you did not want to fix it, it should have been noted at that time.

Our oven caught on fire due to our own negligence and is no longer functional.

Legally speaking can a family member function as a tenant?

The water and sewage system is non-functional.

@Brian Garrett - It sounds like you are misunderstanding the role of a buyer's agent and the function of the MLS. 

In collaboration with our architect/interior designer, we know exactly what is needed in order to integrate luxury amenities and a modern aesthetic into the design of any property, while taking care to create a functional, attractive living space.When you have a moment, please look over the presentation attached, as it will give you more insight into the overall concept of what this property will ultimately become.

My advice for what it is worth if your going to buy these type of properties is to have at least double the price available in cash because more often than not there will be significant costs to get a “ rented” property truly functioning.

Like many other old houses I assume, the repairs have not been done very well, every time I touch something, it seems to throw the delicately repaired functions of this house out of balance (i.e. fix a shower valve leak, shutoff in basement starts to leak). 

Eager to move it.AZ - $135k Functional four-plex in same area. $2170/mo.

For example there are different types of real estate agents (i.e residential agents, investing agents and commercial agents) and lawyers (family lawyers, real estate lawyers and so on...).As well, do all mortgage brokers / mortgage specialist do the same function (search different companies and banks to find the cheapest loan available?).
