There is also extensive drywall damage (including some visible mold in one small area) due to roof leaks, some which my inspector feels are active leaks, and a septic water level warning light.I was told by the management company that an OO doesn't have an inspection period (not true) and that HUD will never do any repairs (per their handbook they can repair major--roof, electrical, plumbing, structural, septic--issues at their discretion if previously undisclosed but uncovered by OO's professional inspector and reported to HUD within 15 days, don't know about in practice). 

(example : tenant has plumbing issue, you send a plumber and it costs you 250 bucks for repair.  

SEC regulations apply to raising capital. 

Id contract out electrical, plumbing, and foam insulation. 

Don't forget to check the local municipality for any building regulation offences, demo orders etc.

One problem I see is that your building is going to be massively plumbed and wired on to get a functional brewery running.

My choice is always to take tenants to small claims court but it depends on the regulations in your state.

Here in Kansas there are no regulations for a property management company.

There are a good number of regulations and rules you need to follow. 

Some plumbing companies say they will pull a permit, some don't.
