We really stretched ourselves thin. we did not perform our own inspections because we were busy raising finances .. and our agent insisted we use the same company who did the initial inspections to “get a report in our name” .. we went for visual inspection with our agent and found the master bathtub was  upside down — they said there was a chip and seller was fixing the tub.

From visual inspection, the other bags were 3Mil or less (bags in background) I highly recommend that if you touch, or caused to be touched (as in a power washer), any asbestos or LBP siding, that you take a certification course even if you don't have plans to use the certification as part of your business. 

Below is a visual chart depicting this, from an article I wrote for my company's website on the topic ( https://www.withum.com/resources/substantial-impro... )Note the 30-month substantial improvement doesn't have to be where it is shown below, its stipulated in the Internal Revenue Code as being any 30 month period. 5. 90% rule - a QOF must hold 90% of its assets in qualifying opportunity zone property.

Tenant stipulates, represents, and warrants thatTenant has visually examined the Premises, and that it is, at the time of this Lease,in good order, repair, and in a safe, clean, and habitable condition.

BC after cleaning comes paint and flooring and major visual progress.

Don’t forget other things that aren’t as visual.

I would avoid turnkey companies who cant give direct answers, won't allow you to visually inspect properties personally, won't allow for a 3rd party inspector to come in, and those who are slow to respond.

It rhymes, it's wisdom, it's visually presentable if you hold up your hand and count on your fingers as you say it, it's intriguing to say da least, it's one damn good quote.

Your list building would start with 100% equity, no loans, and in disrepair visually, which you can't get from a list.
