Inside the premises we find damage from their burning candles for light (electricity turned off by power company for non-payment), smoke detectors dismantled, broken window, etc.

This will also make it easier to sell.Other items that come to mind:Doorways: Are they wide enough to allow the wheelchair through AND turn corners.Wiring: Does the room where the child will be have adequate electricity supply for all of the monitors and machines?

Hi,In a  legal 3 family home when each unit is separately metered (heat, water tanks, electric) who pays for what?

If the current owner has proof of rental payments, I wouldn't worry about collecting rent.4) Ask about roof/furnace/foundation/plumbing and electrical repairs.

Obviously, most insurance companies would have a conniption about this and I am also having electrical issues due to the failing breakers.Does anyone know if I have any recourse?

Property has had no claims and all mechanicals (boilers, electrical, roof) have been updated in 2012.

Roof, plumbing, electrical, and structural are the high ticket items you want to know about.Hope this helps.

Currently I need some minor electrical work done and a new window installed, but it's always something different.

I have gotten trees trimmed electrical service repaired and skylight leaks stopped all in just a matter of a few days and they have not had to lift a finger or even think about it.  

It was a foreclosure that was inhabited by gang bangers for a few years. they stripped it of ALL electrical wire, plumbing etc.
