Unless contrary to any provided disclosure or guarantee, seller has every right to say no to your request, which they did to mine.So for a few hundred bucks I hired a structural engineer to evaluate the foundation, provide a report and scope for repairs.

Now, every year they evaluate my property taxes and challenge them as needed. 

Here's a few the items on my list that I look for when evaluating a deal -Debt - look for fixed rate debt with a term that is at least 7 years ideally 10+ years.

The land is evaluated at 20% of the total cost of the asset.I think I understand that, I can depreciate in proportion to the square footage used exclusively by my tenants, but not common space (kitchen, living room, etc..).

Conwell zestimate is an algorithm that evaluates off certain criteria-a human set of eyes has not been set on the property...

The engineer we use to evaluate slabs for homes with rehab is unwilling to work on new foundations because of liability.Ideas?  

Evaluate your expected returns and pick investments that make sense for your return expectations.

They have full time staff evaluating the competition, vacancies in hotels, events, etc. 

For all other issues I'm unable to be of assistance, and if she has a health concern I advise her to seek evaluation by a doctor. 

Definitely check this it gives you a different way to evaluate properties as well.
