I've had 3 different plumbers look at it and all are saying this should have never passed inspection in the first place.To try to brief, the house had a brand new HVAC system with the tankless wall units - this was actually one of the major reason I wanted the house as I currently look for my turnkey properties.  

We are going to take our personal tax money this year and redo the kitchen/knock a wall down to open it up like other townhouses in the community.

A wall in the back of the garage showed staining at the bottom and there is that bad watery smell in the basement.

If you have a very good relationship, have a heart to heart discussion, and if your living situation can support it, offer to let her to stay with you for a while so she won't be burdened by the stress of bills and a mortgage she can't keep up with.  

These plans are offered by a handful of specialty providers, (you can find several here on BP) and while you will certainly want to have your own CPA involved in helping you evaluate such a move and operate your business, most CPA's will not form or support the structure itself.

Either the market sucks that bad right now, you aren't really the crown jewel, or the area doesn't care abut or simply can't support crown jewels.

@Corey DuttonI think this piece from Fortune outlines the challenges many individual investors expected they would have with these properties: http://fortune.com/2015/09/25/housing-wall-street-investment/It would be nice if these units flowed back into the limited inventory market we're seeing.

I have experienced such a system first hand for a very long time and know better than to bang my head against a brick wall trying to change the "system".

The arguement from years ago that Zillow depends on NAR listings is not supported by SEC filings.
