Excellent,you are already ahead of the game.Now turn that head start into action and get your piece of the pie!

Issues:- Foundation issues as I mentioned before- Downspouts are lacking extensions- The water heater is older (around 17 years) and may be past its prime- The electrical panel cover is missing some screws- There are a couple outlets not secured to the walls correctly- There are missing GFCI outlets in the kitchen and bath- There is no insulation on the water pipes- There are not smoke detectors and CO2 detectors in all areas that they should be (it's recommended to have one in each bedroom and one on each floor which includes the basement)- The attic space could use some additional insulation- There are a few corner pieces of siding missing on the exterior- The grading around the home could use some adjustment- The gate part of the fence needs to be re-adjusted for alignment- The wood on the garage needs to be re-paintedIt looks like a lot, but most everything is small (other than the foundation and grading).  

Most printers can't print all the way to the edge of a normal 8.5"x11" piece of paper. 

I'll take this in pieces:@Russell Brazil, haha if only it was that easy.

If you switch the 1 oil boiler to 2 gas boilers it will probably run you $6,500 - 8,500 a piece installed for new modcon hi efficiency boilers by a pro in the Boston metro area - my guess.

Then, as you continue to send marketing pieces to them, you can increase the message to include more information and specifics.

All of the flooring needs to be replaced, because, as you may know, laminate flooring, once it gets wet, expands, leading to raised areas where the pieces join.

There has to be a missing piece here somewhere.WRT your original point, my guess is that the seller's projected rents are totally unrealistic, and your agent is trying to protect you by inserting a clause that proves this out.

I am trying to figure out a way to budget for this little roof add-on piece and I keep describing it as an "architectural pitch" on the roof and no one knows what I mean.

@Jay Hinrichs So I've been catching up on the podcasts here on BP and learning a bit more of each piece of the puzzle.
