Hello BP friends - as I dig deeper into the REI world I keep looking for news and data regarding market health, locals and other things to improve my education. 

If it's a good deal (by 2019 standards) go ahead.If you do some research on last 5 economic recessions and home values you will find that the last one was the only recession where home values crashed.

@Casey Crowe -  I'd give him a written formal notice that you're going to notify code enforcement and your states dept of health. 

The AC market is ripe for investing, and there is so much growth happening economically in the city.

I get a call at least once per week from an otherwise health person that got a surprise health condition.

Real estate is very local.All economic recessions are different though. 

Actually if you are using a basic TAR or TAA lease in Texas, the lease clearly states that no repairs other than those that affect the health or safety of the tenant need to be completed if rent is delinquentAdditionally, Texas law states that rent cannot be withheld for reasons other than health or safety AND after proper notice and a reasonable time to repair has been given 

Must be from a licensed mental health professional.

She bought it to live in, her health took a nose dive so she is in an assisted living facility now. 

If not during due diligence you should be getting a (PCR) property condition report outlining potential deficiencies and items of correction needed.Look at location of Dollar General with traffic counts, sight lines, access, population growth levels, income levels, crime reports, school systems, economic development department plans for the area, etc.If building is obsolete but rents are really low per sq ft and sitting on a nice piece of land then might have some upside in redevelopment in the future at higher rents.
