How is an as-is contract different?
The paperwork is standard; the difference is the seller's position on requests. You may still choose to grant a credit, but nothing obliges you to fix anything.
Should you fix anything at all?
Only items that block a loan or scare off showings, such as active leaks, missing handrails or broken windows. Cosmetic choices can be left to the purchaser.
What should buyers of a Glendora fixer expect locally?
Glendora has one designated Historic District, a residential neighborhood near the Glendora Village; exterior alterations there need a Certificate of Appropriateness reviewed by the Planning Commission. (cityofglendora.gov) In Glendora, Mills Act contracts (10-year term, renewing annually) are available only for properties designated as Historic Landmarks, and the owner agrees to preserve the exterior. (cityofglendora.gov) Under Glendora Municipal Code 21.03.030, if a nonconforming structure sits unused for 180 days or more it must be removed or altered to conform unless the Planning Commission grants more time, and a complete replacement must meet current code unless the Commission approves an exception.

Can unpermitted work stop a sale?
Not by itself, but it must be disclosed and can limit financing or appraisal (Civ. Code §1102). Pulling the permit history early shows what is on record.
