I'm an electrician and cam do my part and reduce the construction even more.  

We have an extremely knowledgeable realtor, financing available and my father has over 30+ years of construction experience.

In a short summary O have a relatively small construction co and a friend of mine does as well.

I am a flipper mainly now - but working on some new construction too.

We only received the deposit claim today, so we should be within the 15 day period.The following two paragraphs are the only ones that tackle repairs:"Tenant agrees to take good care of the house and its equipment, or if damaged, other than ordinary wear and tear, Tenant will make repairs and replacement equal in quality to the original construction and if the Landlord makes these repairs, the Tenant agrees to pay cost of same upon presentation of bills.""

These are very important words to live by, you must always separate the emotion and the business, its about building wealth through value.I think we are seeing the polar opposite today in Cleveland, we have a crazy surge in new construction apartments along with massive conversion of commercial to residential, with a 99% occupancy rate.

If any work my family does construction for a living.

I know they go MLS to get best price, I have no idea if there are pitfalls or what not, new to investing but 12 years in government construction as self performing contractor.

I know new construction must be to code, but what about older buildings? 

I have been in the construction industry all my life and would be more than willing to try to answer any questions structure related.
