@Ryan Watson demolish it?

My summer job in high school was fixing move outs in a war zones. I could patch or cover up any bullet hole but birdshot. That would require a sheet rocker to come in.

If demolition was the only option certain area codes would look like abandoned strip mines

I would think renting an apartment in a war zoneis different than selling a house to a buyer in a good part of town.

So, from what I am seeing there may be a point for negotiation. I can see some people do not want to buy a house that had “bad things” happen in it, which makes it more difficult to sell because of the smaller buying pool.

Can anybody offer a reasonable discount?

A bad roof $5000 discount

Carpet &interior paint $2500

A stigma from “an unfortunate incident” in a small town?

IMO a 2 year non -compete seems to be a little much.

@bradprice

we are going to lease option to buy and sell. No mortgage, so owner financing is what we will be proposing.

Odd topic but real question. My partner just called asking what we should offer on a house. Absentee Motivated seller with recent suicide in her house. Any idea's

Found the forum through a realtor friend.I have an accounting back ground, mortgage experience, got a real estate licence, bought and sold 2 multi family units. I learned a little bit about what not to do. I took 10 years away from real estate and would like to get into buy and hold investing

Liked what I have read on this forum and have some questions from the post i've read.
