I think it would be ethically unimaginable for anyone advising an out-of-state investor to suggest to you to sign a contract to purchase anything even remotely like the property you're describing without an inspection contingency.

Ill add to what the above poster said- my biggest mistake was letting tenants push me around, demand things, ask for special treatment, get discounts, etc.the #1 thing I have absolutely found is: The people who ask for extra things or special treatment, and especially the ones who ask for discounts- tend to be the worst. they are the ones that complain and ask for money back, and make the implication that they will leave bad reviews otherwise. 

I had renters like that once, and along with being dirty, they got gum stuck in the dryer, nail polish in the carpet, damaged window treatments, burned plastic on the stove, etc.

The money's in treatment, not the solution.

The Guru's have no problem with eating their own chum and they also feast from their own bait bucket as well.Sooner or later these types spiral in, landing in flames without much noise but with plenty of stench to go around.They generally push colon cleansing "miracles' just before they implode in an odorous heap of their own ethics and finally become obvious to every human sense what they were full of from the start.Thank god I will be shunned..............Tell the guys in Cape Coral I said Hi!
