Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

You want to make sure that the new tenant receives the unit in excellent condition, and you should want to know that everything is in good working order, i.e. no leaks under the sinks etc....This will cost about $200-$300 and you can either just eat this or build it into the deposit.....worth every penny....

If one person is bidding formica and the other granite, if one is bidding under counter sinks the other set in, one a tankless water heater the other a standard, one laminate the other engineered wood, one a 30 year roof another tile, it makes a big difference on what you get in the final product, and what the appraisal comes in at.
