Good morning, I would ask for a utilities history, HOA fees, if there is a deeded parking spot, a copy of the minutes of the last several HOA meetings(should give you an idea of the issues other owners brought up), proof of when all of the common areas were last renovated (to avoid unexpected special assessments), when were all of the unit specific appliances were replaced(central a/c, water heater, dishwasher, etc.).

Moreover, during the inspection process, we discovered an unexpected basement space, adding further value to the property.How did you finance this deal?

This is why the agencies don't let you swap out management companies, or engage in unexpected mass-renovations (as opposed to simply renovating on turnovers), without their prior approval.

You suffer large unexpected expenses.

When you prioritize your guests and pay it forward, you’ll often be rewarded in unexpected ways.

If a transaction goes 100%  smoothly  I can somewhat understand your comments   but  if anything unexpected  occurs - having an agent involved to  assist  righting the  ship can  prove to be  priceless .   

As others have said, there’s plenty of way to make up this marginal cost that saves your guests the embarrassment of asking upstairs to toss down a half used roll or make an unexpected run the gas station with a dirty bum

We run a 53 acre ranch in the middle of Texas, and the stress of unexpected problems coming up with not enough time to resolve them (septic, water lines, other equipment malfunctions, adequate pool maintenance) between guests is too great.I'm aware there's money left on the table.

Columbus is a top five appreciating city in the US with an unexpected mix of cash flow which is backed up by a population and job growth.

My tenants in my 3 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in the Bronx are moving out unexpectedly today, so I am looking for new tenants.
