I've been keeping track over the last several weeks of what properties are coming up, where they are located, general condition, bed/bath count etc and the price they are renting for. 

Or is the plaster is bad condition already?

I don’t think we have ever offered more than $10k for any place there no matter the condition.

Last week, they proposed a 2-year contract with the same terms and conditions we have been working with the last 3 months.

The siding is asbestos and is in decent condition but has some small replacement pieces here and there.

Down the road you’ll get an inspection but to make sure you don’t waste your time and money - verify the age and condition of the big ticket items - roof, HVAC, plumbing, wiring - those capex items.

(need to determine if prior owners failed to disclose a condition that they ware required to by law).  3.

I would just make that a condition of them being able to continue living there.

I have a small business that is in good condition too 

Property purchased in mostly original condition.
