Repairing water damage and fixing broken items is the bear minimum for a landlord.

Same vein for "Social Security Records' initial post too - I would move to another lender - DSCR Loans are standardized enough between lenders (probably around ~90%) so at best these are mild stretched truths but in my mind do a lot of damage to the industry and investors/borrowers because it creates confusion and uncertainty 

Not looking so much for damage to the rentals, but to cover injuries should someone get hurt on the property.

It’s obviously leaning heavily and one already fell and damaged property.

I found all sorts of things to reference for an eviction including excessive damage to the property, signs of an animal, lack of yard maintenance, oil spill on driveway, smoke detectors removed, the unit smelled of smoke, appliances that came with the unit moved off site ect... 

The only thing that comes to mind may be insurance-related, so I'd recommend speaking to your insurance broker to see if the cost may be different due to fire damage could damage more units at a time.

Even if you have enough for a down payment and closing costs, there is always a chance the furnace or AC goes out the first time you try to turn it on (typically this would be caught by an inspector), or some major damage happens that insurance doesn't cover.  

He has to prove damages and you haven't stated anything a judge would award damages over.Putting in insulation is a good investment for you long term. 

Quote from @Kathleen Park: I recommend you educate yourself on "ordinary wear-and-tear" vs damages, depreciation, and your state laws.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

On new builds the maintenance is lower but there could still be damage.
