Unless you have behind the scenes info, the liklihood of a deal here isn't worth the time you're investing trying to figure it all out (unless you're just doing this for mental exercise that is).I suggest you come up with some sort of threshold/prelim test to filter out these type of situations and focus your time on properties that are more profitable and more likely to be sold at the price you need.Time is your most valuable asset.

Who should pay for filters like water filter, fridge filter...etc, is it the tenant or the landlord?
