Is it possible that that could be a driver for mold.

I'm not sure the geographic of my region but I'm targeting Northwest Indiana, anything within an hour drive really.

- In my opinion no, based on at least three factors: • Replacement value - When you obtain insurance, one of the cost drivers is the cost to replace the structure if the property burns to the ground.

Something to consider, do you really want to make a tenant mad over $35 / year if it is not clear in the lease and was not explained before signing.In commercial leases, back flow testing usually falls into a tenant specific responsibility or is treated as a CAM. 

Driver around all the streets and look for vacant houses.

Whether I purchase the property or you do, we will likely encounter the same capex costs, so in my opinion it needs to considered as an above the line expense and reflected in the NOI, since that is the main driver in price.Now whether the seller will agree with you is another matter entirely

Fortuneatly/unfortunately the Fed is in the driver's seat.

Single family  probably a realtor will do better but for a multifamily not sure if it makes a big difference, The two main drivers that are motivating me to sell with Redfin are the following:1)Low sellers commission 1.5%2)No buyers commission If a prospective buyer purchased through Redfin else the standard 2 to 3 percent  I am expecting it to sell  for around 1mil with up to 300k profit and absolutely not seeing anything going wrong selling with Redfin.I am extremely interested to hear in favor or against selling with  Redfin.I will  greatly appreciate your inputs.Thanks
