I self manage several homes and the program hasn't been too bad but I don't care for it. 

Roof, furnace, and A/C are all in good condition and reported to be functional.

May not work, but always worth asking them to get it taken care of, some liability issue potential there. 

First of all, do not rent to tenants who don't take care of your property (bad "hygiene hobbits") and allow an environment/condition in which pests would take over.  

B and C-class properties are a bit intimidating, but I've been looking into techniques/tips for tenant screening, which should hopefully alleviate the worst of any potential issues.

If he gets it done by the end of the month, we return his full deposit and we'll take care of whatever junk he doesn't want.

I currently reside in Atlanta and extremely motivated to make it in the real estate world, that being said I'm still new at this, very new and would love it if any of you guys can give me some beginner tips maybe how to start in the wholesaling side of the market?

Anyways, our contractor was first going to tackle the water issues and then knock out every wall (which I would have requested anyways lol) as nearly every wall visibly had mold and I am highly allergic to mold.In fact, even though I suited up I'm now having to go see my eye and health doctors as my eyes weren't 100% corrected and now I'm having allergy issues due to doing just a quick walk-through.So while you may think it is a scam, people like me literally need to have the job done fully and at highest quality.

See, on those days, and they will happen, you'll pull out your handy Rolodex and look up the contractors (and lawyer) you have relationships with and get those jobs taken care of lickety split at a good price because you're a local with repeat business.

Any tips on things to prepare for the buildings code hearing and then separately for our case against the tenant?
