I'm starting to look closer at the development that is going on in my local market, which is where I have been investing. 

@Stephen NetoI would ask for a 10-15 day due diligence period for inspection and review rent roll.. if you are not satisfied by the end of the due diligence period you will recieve a full refund of deposit..Just needs to be on the schedule of contract if not already on pre worded offer

Geico and many others require all properties insured to be inspected even in the back.

Postal Inspection Service investigates any violation involving the U.S.

I would have made sure that they both qualified alone, or were closer to qualifying so if something like this happened you wouldn't be completely f$cked.

Under the law, I have the right to enter given that she's always been provided proper notice and all visits have been for maintenance repairs and inspections.

A small property like 3 unit you probably want closer to the $200 or more.

But i find it odd he waited until the move out inspection to tell the landlord that the AC wasn't working?

My thoughts on this may change as I continue to read/learn about other options but this is my thought process as of now :).And one last question...Does it make sense to start working on getting preapproval now or wait until I get closer to being at a place where I'm closer to making my first purchase? 

However, until I have a property inspected and know the current condition and life expectancy of all major components and appliances I will not lower it.
