I got to know this like the back of my hand when I owned my own PM firm in Seattle.  

The attorney that does most of my real estate work likes to see the LLC formed in either the state where the property is or where the LLC owner lives.  

From her explanation, it sounds like she looked at her overall situation and declaring bankruptcy was her best course of action.

@kimberly S. mentioned negotiating the price, because it's like buying a car.  

I see many town home new builds have this feature but likely because it allows higher density/lower cost of land since many lack yard area but the rooftop allows an outdoor feature. 

You will be house hacking, so ask yourself "Is this somewhere I would like to live?" 

Chances are they are not coming off the price, because your home inspector didn't agree or like it.That's the standard with production builders. 

If a property fails these benchmarks, it’s likely not worth the time to perform a deeper analysis.Risk Management: By adhering to these rules, I aim to minimize the risk of overpaying for properties or underestimating operational costs.

Generally, everything is negotiable so even if it's godawful, I would likely just ask for it to be fixed or compensated for.

For example there are 3 or 4 major utility companies just inside of Fayetteville and it seems like each property has a different structure/utility company.Other expenses = major capex (roofs, plumbing, flooring etc go bad eventually so I would save a monthly amount in a separate account for when these happen).
