Safety/maintenance and housekeeping inspections.

I would suggest looking for properties in the Cape if you are concerned with safety.

The largest savings we realized was being allowed to personally design, build & install a complete fire sprinkler system within the bowels of our 60's era 7unit apartment building, that was no longer grandfathered in for fire safety. 

The only thing I would recommend is establishing the correct safety measures to protect both yourself and those people partnering with you - helps people know you are serious as well as offering peace of mind to all involved.

I didn’t see it in my quick search but have to believe it’s out thereLooking for a good free or cheap iPhone app for midlease condition and safety checks.

So this provides motivation to press for more details from county Transportation/Safety division regarding traffic impact fees and any restrictions/fees associated with access to the property (i.e. driveways from adjacent road) + specific tap fees or fees from cable, as well.Oh, and -- ha -- there is the matter of financing.

Having water and hot water is a health and safety issue for sanitation.

Did you just prioritize finding just the lowest $/SF?

Prioritizing family is one of my main motivations for real estate investing too.

In the past week San Diego county supervisors passed a “temporary” ban on evictions (except for ”imminent health and safety threat”) and set maximum rent increases at the CPI.
