I do have a 4-plex in Calgary under contract right now that i'm trying to close on, so there are deals, but they are really hard to find right now! 

The contract states "This contract is subject to Buyer obtaining Buyer Approval.

Businesses will charge us for the visits and we will need to pass the cost down to tenants.As for heating systems, it sounds like even the gas on gas type heating stoves in living rooms (opposite sides of stoves) is not allowed too? 

Well the only thing I would like to add is that if you sign contracts and you're making representations to purchase if you cannot find a buyer then hopefully you're going to keep your word with the seller and honor the contract like any honest person would.

If there was a gas leak in your unit and the landlord, for health and safety reasons needed immediate access to your unit, they should have a means of entry.  

I have the signed contract for this property and have about 30 days to figure things out.

@Tom Parris  Some good advice, except.....for an FHA buyer you simply can't sign a contract with them until 91 days after your purchase date...no 6 month rule.

Another aspect which mitigate some of this risk is to really understand the contract language.

Hello -We have contract on a 5 unit property which was advertised as 5 X 2BR/1BA.

I would like a separation of gas and electric, framing, dry wall and doors.
