My wife is concerned with investing now because she plans to go to school in about 2 years to finish her DNP and during that time (2 years) she will not be able to work nor do we know if we will even be in the same area.

Windows and smoke detectors will be our first go to purely for safety concerns.

This unit has an electric water heater, so the main concern with water is specifically HOT water.This is out of town for me, in a southern state that's an AC-dominant area.

I do have my concerns with a twisted beam, you know its the structural bone of the house keeping it together.

I was planning on contacting a title company next week to do this for me.That can create chain of title concerns for both a lender and title company that does the lender's title policy.  

That's concerning.   

So that is not a concern of mine, as I both have no desire to nor intend on giving a broker a cut of my investment deals, unless of course they added some value like gave me the lead...

That is my biggest concern.

My concern really wasn't the extra week of payment but just that I need her to move so we can go in a different direction with the property.

Maybe we're just being nice and living up to our original proposal, which is okay, but I want my realtor to tell me this is and instead he is telling me we cannot ask seller for reduced price in lieu of repairs since the appraisal came back high, which seems inaccurate.At this point I'm less concerned with the price reduction and just more concerned with whether or not I'm getting accurate/honest answers to my questions.
