The existing tenants have mentioned separately (this is an up/down duplex) of smell of mold.This is not difficult to believe if in fact there are these obvious cracks on the home exterior.There is no doubt water/moisture is getting into the home and creating a condition for mold to grow.We had a structural engineer out to do our buyer’s inspection yesterday, report is due out later this evening (11/04/17).Verbal communication while on site, indicated a mutually shared concern over these cracks.The roof appears fine.A wall in the backyard will need replacing as the soil weight has almost pushed this wall over and it is only a matter of time before this thing comes falling over.Boiler may need replaced, windows as there is some clear cold.These are just concerns at this time but inspection report will lay all this out once received later today.I should have been a little smarter in not agreeing to a change in inspection objection deadline when it was presented by seller.My buyer’s agent and I should really have talked this one over, as I realize now that, it left us with only hours after inspection to come up with our inspection objection response and to be honest I will not have time to get bids for any of the extensive repair items which I do not doubt will be confirmed in the report received later today.Seeking any advice that you can give on the following: Would you proceed with purchase of the above detailed home?

I personally love it, gotta take the risk and even better that it found you :)Like you said you can only fail if you give up... keep at it man and I too am looking forward to some pictures along the way!

Larger amount is weighted as a loan and not a credit line.

The roof is new and looks good on the surface, but all this added weight can't be good, especially in winter with the weight of snow/ice.

Tell them when they ask that you do not release the reason for rejecting simply that they did not meet their screen criteria.Many times applicants are rejected due to appearance, attitude, upkeep of personal vehicle etc.

For folks who want returns in the present, out of state purchases that are managed by a quality property manager are worth their weight in gold. 

Amazon has many reviews but it's the Verified Purchase ones that hold weight. 

While I'm sure some regional banks, credit unions, etc. will slightly differ in their weights I would imagine they all care about credit scores, net worth, DSCR, etc.  

Then it holds no weight.

Whatever you have left over from your annual rental income after you have paid all the annual expenses for property taxes, hazard insurance, cleaning, maintenance and upkeep, repairs, property management, legal fees, advertising, mailing, postage, HOA fees, etc. is your annual cash flow.
