Do a search by zip code or town. 

@Ryan Deasy Yes, if you qualify as a real estate professional under the tax code, then your rental losses are not limited to $25k. 

It's a beautiful property and I'm sure you will get some great rental rates in the 92104 zip code.

They claim to go off the International Property Maintenance Code but when you ask for specifics (like downspout length that is not in the book) they have a cute little law that basically says whatever they say goes.

Double check with your local codes to be safe and go get it done. 

The code guys are jacks too.

First, you don't have the legal right to alter the property since you don't own it and you haven't even met all the closing contingencies yet since a Loan Commitment has not been issued. 

The answer to that question can only be determined on a house-by-house basis;  i.e. how well has the current owner taken care of the property or what kind of investment are you willing to make to get a property up to modern-day codes? 

@Will Zena did they provide zip codes or addresses? 

They do not provide meaningful oversight or guidance with respect to tax code compliance.A checkbook IRA LLC is an enhancement on the above structure that is generally more time and cost efficient for investors with a more diverse portfolio.
