It looks nice but for some reason i cant link to it anymore from my favorites..Doug

If you act negligent (if the tenant informs you that the front step is broken, you do nothing, they inform you again in writing, you do nothing, then grandma visits and dies on the front step from tripping, you will be held negligent and therefore responsible so you and ALL your persoanl assets will be at risk.

I own SFH's, MFH's, townhouses and condos....and my favorite properties are my condos.  

I loose some deals at the last minute but I have also tripped and fell into some of my best deals with no effort.

If they can rent it quickly, maybe with one single trip for $800, the difference to them is 10 bucks.

Most of the time it's not worth the fight.A few of my favorite:Inspector said all bedroom circuits should be arc-fault in a 1992 home.Inspector reported multiple outlets did not work, because they had tripped a GFI upline and not turned it back on.Inspector noted 14 broken tiles on a golf-course home that we had replaced all of the broken tiles on.

I know the club won't be good because of distance long-term but if you could make the trip I think it would be worth your while.

I'm sure we will end up with a few discrepancies on what are/are not building materials on the first couple jobs because it is impossible to define every item that goes into every house, but I secretly plan on a $500 contingency for those items alone.This has allowed me to control exactly what goes into our properties and actually makes estimating the rehab costs much easier because I don't have to worry about the 100+ trips to lowes that I was making, especially as the project neared completion.As for as negotiating with the contractor: I had several come out to look over a house that I had just closed on.

Not every seller will survive the trip.
