At least in NJ, when a property is listed with an agent, owner is required to fill out a full disclosure form where they answer comprehensive questions on the condition of practically everything.The agent is therefore in the know of these conditions and are legally bound to disclose these to the buyer...

I intend to buy a SFR located in Riverview, FL and need a good honest general contractor to assess the repair cost (it is tenant occupied, so repair should be light).

Right now, the best one I see out there to use is the MULTI-member LLC with a GOOD COMPREHENSIVE OPERATING AGREEMENT/UMBRELLA POLICY.

I was able to lower taxes on a property that was just assessed higher.

He has, I believe, a $75,000 tax basis (per tax bill assessment) on the property which he can write off of the sale price.

I had a condo property that was being assessed for a new roof for double the actual cost.

This can get real crazy in the special assessment department.Older irrgation systems can be huge in larger complexes and age can be a problem there too.Our complex has over 900 trees and they are old requiring work and/or removal.

It is very important the buyer understand what they are buying in to --If the reserves are below 70% the homeowners may be facing a special assessment in the future.

On zillow it's assessed at 59k and houses in the area have been selling around that range.

I doubt IRS has resources to compare the assessed values with real values for every property they encumbered.They slapped a lien cause someone didn't pay the taxes.
