Also it would be good to have the contact number for someone to call in case the worse happens, like the need for an eviction (knock on wood).

In addition there were some minor damages (damaged entry door, broken vanity mirror, broken fireplace equipment, curtain hardware nailed and screwed into stained wood trim and window frames, sticky weather film to be removed from windows).  

Thanks for chiming in @Roy N.  

Spencer Wardwell Stock Building has some good doors, wood and vinyl.

We allow animals, and have specifically done wood plank tile floors throughout so it's pretty much animal proof!   

I grew up in your neck of the woods!

My husband, Taylor Roy is in construction and has been for years.

(knock on wood) However, I agree with Evan Morton in doing your homework as with any area.

The appraisal came back 20k less than what they wanted, so they were forced to lower their price.There were also some rotten wood on the roof, that I made them pay for the repair before I purchased.Based on your market rent, I suggest you get this property at least 20k less than what they are asking.

I like @Roy N. response, but in many locations these days you have to process applications in order they are received.
