I typically look into the property tax and transfer records, which are all online to see what the property is currently assessed at.

I think you're ready to purchase a tax-deed the major down-fall is that too many foreign investors and small capital groups come in and buy the best properties near or above market value....There's a bunch of posts on tax-deeds its just you have to spend sometime  learning how to title examine (this is a key skill you will have to learn).1/2) These properties are being "foreclosed" by the local government - in general its state specific for instance in FL it is true they can be redeemed until the second before sale however after you're pretty much done for (however if its a valuable property and any of the previous owners in the chain of title have a bit of cash to throw around you'll be forced to defend yourself in court which can be pretty expensive).

It's common expenses in a good working condition or may a major item  need repair or replacement any time soon?

I would plan to pay for majority of upgrades with a line of credit.I have a few additional reasons beyond monthly cash savings to sub-meter the electric: 1) There is one thermostat in the house, controlled only by tenants in the largest unit.

I've been looking on line and see a lot of Pool waivers, or specific activity waivers but not a general waiver for a river situation.
