But now on disclosure we will write something like "roof likely leaked" or something to that effect if we are replacing the roof and we are not sure if there were any active or past leaks.Originally posted by @Jonathan A.

But understand the type of risk could be the exiting tenant having poured cement down the drains, no appliances, no cabinets, a leaking roofs with mold inside the house, no AC,  or squatters having lived in the house with untold 'grossness' being left behind for you.  

You do not want to be 4 weeks behind on a roof leak or mold issue.

This includes finding the right property, managing it, and handling maintenance—all under one roof.

We have just completely renovated a SFR (from the gound up, everything new, foundation, roof, HVAC, etc.). 

One property we bought had four major roof leaks and blue tarps and cinder blocks on the roof. 

Just try to find some really reliable people that can give you good quotes on your landscaping/fence/Kitchen cabinetry and roof.

Has a brand new roof and all the mechanicals are updated.

it sold for 2.2M.the property was a huge project also... leaking roof, mold, plumbing, lots of termites, 1970s everything. 

Which means even if you had an inspector there on that day, it would be a few days before you could get coverage (assuming there were no issues needing remedying first, like an old water heater, roof, etc.).
