The company we use to clean our STR in American Fork, UT got sold and they are discontinuing their STR department. 

Not only it is far away but all flights depart and arrive in the middle of the night.

Once you find some that are good, hold onto them for dear life!  

I don't think you have to discount the taxes and water bill, that should be cleared up from the seller's proceeds before closing or at closing by your title company.As far as code violations I would check with the city code compliance department IN PERSON, not on the phone.   

I typical 80-unit building can have up to 50 team members under 7 departments. 

But I was hungry and with the support of my wife and a good team in place, I was determined to stabilize the street, clear the zoning violations, put qualified tenants in, and work with the police department to clear out any criminal activity.

If you are unfamiliar with those, call your city planning department to check on permitting.

Then I pick up the phone and call the community banks and credit unions near my property and ask to speak with the mortgage department, and ask them “With my FICO score of 720, what rates can you offer me on my property?”
