Here were my red flags that I rationalized because coming out of pocket would have dipped into my family’s already tight budget:They had an eviction on their record that they did not disclose when asked on the application.

Cracks, roots, crushed line, missing lines all together!

I know this is a red flag but would I be able to get these tenants out if I purchased this home, especially with the COVID regulations currently in play?

, largely due to exceptionally low housing inventory due to the Carr Fire in Redding and the Camp Fire in Paradise.

I'm hoping this community can help me with tips on spotting red flags on what to avoid, advice on what to look for to find the perfect contractor and of course any referrals or recommendations from personal experience.

But do any necessary PM on the shower.We had a SFR that had the ugliest bathroom alcove for years, it was black & red tile including the ceiling BUT no-one complained & we always got above MKT rents.When we finally changed it out using Bath-fitter (we only had 3 days downtime to do it), the new tenant (a veterinarian), was disappointed that we changed out the red & Black tile ???

That might catch some red flags that warrant a closer look.

Do not open the cc. 3 days later Gmail will pop a reminder in red that you’ve not responded to this email, if you still haven’t got the picture requested now you u have to contact them and remind them.

You can check the sewer line as well, they often get tree roots in them and require replacing.You can buy a home without doing any of this but this will give you a better idea of the issues you are going to run into after you close on the house.
