Pre-Purchase Inspections - Tenant not co-operating
The owner has never seen inside Unit 2 and I need to get a plumber and electrician inside to check things before I sign a contract. We are not using realtors. This is an off market property. Unit 1 and 3 were pretty rough. Unit 2 could be a Taj Mahal but nobody knows. When I came by w/ the plumber he said "could not check, they were eating dinner". He did say he works a rotating shift. I do believe he and his wife and 2 daughters live there. The owner is very concerned about "upsetting the tenants" they have been there for 10 years and he has not raised rent and they are worried I will raise rent. Also, the owner is foreign with broken English and difficult to communicate with and thinks i'm going to run his tenants / friends off.
