We got the inspection back today; the issues are as follows: mold beyond the surface mold we originally noticed when checking the house out, wood rot in left side floor, damaged roof joist, poor ventilation in the attic and mold, many of the chimney bricks are loose, standing water in crawlspace--potential mold, leaking shower and toilet leading to damaged floor/ceiling underneath, plumbing material issues, electrical not all properly grounded.

If your competition is original everything, paint, insulate attic and maybe landscape to attract new tenants and create pride in old tenants.

I misspoke in my first post in that I originally meant waiting to put the tenants on a full year lease.

I know new construction can be expensive but existing structures?

With our second property, we bought it with an existing tenant who's on a month to month lease paying $850.
