Asking the sellers to repair the whole roof is quite common, sometimes their insurance company will repair it for them!

Or what software/company do you use to obtain background checks on your tenants ?

Well, first you find a deal that you can actually wholesale, then you approach the title & escrow company.

I have a friend who has some real estate experience (mainly legal, local knowledge) that could be 'boots on the ground' in terms of understanding the locale, assisting with property management.  

Careful to not assume any legal position and we disclaim every convo.Aviation - Love it.

I'm soon to be leasing the PA farmland to a solar company on a long-term lease (more yearly than my W2 job, and 3% escalator, compounding).With such an advantageous situation in PA, I want to be able to maximize my potential.

@Phil Shelton are you a 5% or greater owner of the company that issues you a W2? 

The clients I know who have done this have hired a tax attorney to write a legal opinion letter.

He ended up  took the owner of the home, his construction company, my 12 yr old sister and my father along with my dad's self employed business to court .

Hardly anyone offers it and if they do either generic national companies or small ones that aren't marketed very well...
