The house seems in decent condition from the outside and I have yet to see the inside.

The ADU itself needs work and I have not yet fixed it into a condition that I'm happy to rent.

Gaining a conditional use permit can take A LOT of time and the zoning office doesn't like people telling them they're wrong.3.

But for a moment, let's work under the assumption that the foundation is in good condition and within tolerance of being level (usually 1 inch). 

Not a one size fits all but definitely more risk with auction since you cant see condition which also means a better chance at reward. if you can find a way into the house or know someone who has seen the house or know the area enough it can be a great way to get BRRs.

If anything if the new tenant does not keep the condo in good condition and is dirty, that might negatively impact their impression of the condo. 

We found what looks to be a steal - a 2 bedroom new construction super low taxes in perfect location (we otherwise wouldn t be able to afford this location) right in center city philadelphia, only concern is that both bedrooms are below grade in basement but it's in great condition since it's new.

I really pushed hard on the condition and they agreed to take less.
