Then renegotiate the offer or walk away.If it is cosmetic or handyman type stuff, I generally suggest they fix it after ownership because the owner is going to find the cheapest materials and most inexperienced labor to fix it.

Minor cosmetic repairs have to be made and there is a value add opportunity with the addition of a condenser for HVAC.

.- We completed minor cosmetic items as the building was only a few years old including paint and carpets.

A lot, if it is cosmetic not much if it isn't. $30k will get you brand new paint, flooring, kitchen, and bathrooms

Take tons of pictures so that you can grab a contractor friend you met at homedepot to look through the pictures and help you determine what needs to be repaired, replaced or just needs light cosmetic work.

Both sides are currently unrented, the owner boutgh in 2017 for $230k, renovated most of it (still some small cosmetic stuff in smaller unit and outside), and then decided he didn't want to deal with it anymore.

Everything was cosmetic, but because there was so much flooring to do that drove the price up. 

Post meeting Update:Owner 's explanation was that he pays a large portion of his insurance up front since he has multiple properties and gets a bit of a discount 5-Recurring charges monthly for paint, HVAC, and building material and suppliesPost meeting Update:Owner addressed it as routine system and property maintenance, That being said it appears to be band-aids not  issues that continue to exist6-Owner pays water, and gas.Also there appear to be a charge for meter reading monthly ( my view is that I would try and get the tenant to pay this stuff on their own or ensure i have a bill back process.)Post meeting Update:Owner Confirmed that he does pay the water and gas bill Monthly and does not charge the tenant for these items7-Owner appears to also absorbing tenants credit check fee8-Unallocated Prepay is being counted as income ( not sure what the owner is referring to)Post meeting Update:Owner was unable to clearly explain this issue had to call his property  manger.

:The property needs a lot of cosmetic work.

The property is solid and needs cosmetic.
