You can put the number into a search engine and sometimes it will tell you if it's a solicitation.

One of them hired a landscape guy, well, the landscape guy never came so I was paying $140 per month for nothing for about 7 months.The other property manager didn't tell the tenants they were responsible to replace the ac filter, that bill was $1000 to replace the AC fan motor.I am really afraid of blowing off the money.

I haven't sold yet, I've been analyzing property to get a head start on the 45-day timeline of identifying the potential replacement property (and because I enjoy analyzing property). 

They found it out, andI had to go to the planning board and zoning board, hire an engineer and architect to make the fourth unit legal.In my opinion, the realtor should have verified the zoning, and if you used bank financing, it's pretty rare for the bank to miss it as well.You are probably going to have to hire an architect to draw plans and to get it approved as a triplex.I wish you luck.

I already have 2 loans on the property with great interest rates that I'm not looking to replace.

Imagine investing in all new, beautiful finishes, only to discover that the drain pipes are faulty and need to be replaced—an issue that could have been identified and addressed beforehand.

At time of purchase I had a couple of engineers over to look at a couple of things.

One golden rule I follow,if it takes a long time to fix/replace when it breaks, don't buy a cheap one.Imagine, this thing breaks in the middle of your peak season and the people who can come out to rebuild are 2 weeks out....It takes at least a day or two to build something like this even if you are super skilled.

Just replace and move on. install lights. 

We don't need sprinklers here, but if we would, I'd either do that or replace the lawn with gravel or something else maintenance free.
