All units are as originally built and nothing has been replaced or improved (including HVAC).

Upstairs there's also some updating that needs to be done, drywall repairs, flooring replaced, etc.  

I work full time as an engineer, so my career has been my main focus up to this point.I purchased my first house in 2004 (and paid top dollar to a flipper).

I also need to replace the pool pump at this particular property as its around the same age and is on its last leg.To fix the compressor (replace the compressor) it was $2,200, to replace the whole AC system is $5,700.  

My husband is an engineer/ programmer and I'm a financial analyst.

I had a PM who kept the money until the fifteenth and almost got replaced because of it.

I can also stipulate the amount of coverage I want versus paying for replacement coverage in order to keep rates in check while still covering my investment. 

I'm looking for good referrals for a real estate lawyer, engineer, and land development contractor in the are.

You will see this in almost all lease templates.One way it helps landlords is when a pipe breaks and ruins their big screen TV and they call you to replace it, you can say "As stated in your lease, we are not responsible for your personal items.
