Personally, I would want to know:
1. Which tenants are the worst payers and when does their lease expire?
2. How long does it take corporate to pay invoices
3. Are there any pending legal situations
4. Are the work orders up to date?
5. Who are the top 5 biggest complainers
6. Are there any service animals onsite
7. Is there a no-smoking policy in place
8. I would want to see all addendums and the lease being used (how current are they)
9. Are there any hazards onsite (such as playground falling apart or broken sidewalks.
