I would use a reliable 3rd party property inspector for this which will cost you about $200 - $400 based on the size property.Before doing that, definitely have a local realtor that's representing you look into it.  

> box in the gable with trim (ie. a triangular pediment) with a contrasting color to highlight the feature...prob same color as shutters. i would also paint the porch that color as well, or maybe a third complimenting color.

There will be extra fee's involved with a third party site aprox  3% surcharge... 

@Joe Belman I get the assigning part I sure exactly how to structure the deal because it wasn't a cash deal and how advertise a property that I didn't own but have interest in

If you love doing it and it doesn't feel like work, you'll be extremely successful it.The hardest part is taking the leap and just doing it.

All parties have good intentions but you will be wiser to start your land lording career with a safer bet.Laws vary from state to state on your rights when sharing your own private property. 

That would have been a win-win for both parties.

I am a broker...I can tell you, at least for our market (and I know other brokers outside of our market say the same thing), there is no reliable 3rd party data.  

Either way, you can cool your heels while parties duke this out at 111 N. 

Ideally I'd like to buy a rental for every second or third flip using either turnkeys or the BRRR method.
