They think the FHA inspection is nit picky and the seller is going to have to fix every tiny flaw, and that just is not true.  

I actually provide a list with any issues I already know about (small crack in front tile in foyer, bleached spot on carpet in closet, etc.), then give them two weeks to get the list back to me with any additional issues they may find.     

One window pane is cracked, the front and back windows are broken and then ceiling fan in the kitchen is broken.

If you could break it into four zones(one for each apartment,) you might do even better- sometimes when you only have one or two zones(for four apartments,) the hottest apartment may crack a window to regulate heat, and that is money down the drain.

Little do they realize, there are experts that are so specified in the field that focus on one tiny area and do it really really well.

One of the units I walked into was a crack den with holes in the walls and garbage piled up in the corners of every room.

.$2,000 New furnace after finding the heat exchanger was cracked$1,200 handyman labor to paint exterior window and trim, haul debris from yard, replace counter, get shower tile back to watertight, fix ceiling damage from water$600 materials, including paint, kitchen counter, locks$600 new vinyl kitchen floor$200 three yards of dirt to correct grading around the foundation$200 plumber to replace gas valve, fix leaky drain, replace p traps in kitchen and address a couple other concerns I had$37,050 all in.I spent about 30 hours of my own time buying materials, stopping by to manage workers, and doing some minor work myself. 

If someone put up a false add it would absolutely be the last time I talked with them and I would tell everyone I know not to bother with that ya hoo    :)  incredible.. no wonder states are cracking down on these activities.

I could still do cabins or tiny homes as a side thing, because people are really intrigued with nature, sustainablitly and green lifestyle.  

If you have a leak on your foundation, may not be anything too serious, basements leak in Michigan, however if you look around the whole basement wall and you see large cracks then I would worry about foundation issues.
