As for your credit score, It might drop a little after getting a hit from the report being pulled from a loan but having a real estate mortgage in your name is a component of your credit score which i would assume would raise it long term as long as you make payments on time.

You need to have a good idea of the current condition and life expectancy of all the major components as well as the new appliances.  

I have a loosely defined "ground-team". 

I agree with @Joe Villeneuve, remember you are making an investment not in the hopes of your defined and desired return but your demanded return.

One of the components of the complaint filing fee is a "service" fee.

Plus I choose to not let the disability define me and use it as a crutch.

Also, are there any industrial or automotive properties in the San Fernando or Simi Valleys that have or allow a residential component for the owner?

It can be really hard to define quality expectations and most of the time when people ask for concessions in negotiation, from my experience, the work is poorly defined and done to the bare minimum level of qualityAnd lastly, how might you ensure that things were signed off on with regards to permits, rental inspections, etc.
