Then the redemptions left us 0 or 1 to bid on.  

The homes were being snatched up left and right.

Completely demolished and no slab left for 40+ years.

In the end, I was left dealing with the mess they made.Now, I’ve decided to sell the property, but it's been a nightmare.

Mostly because an opinion is rarely appreciated unless it aligns with the opinion of the person you're talking to :).  

On top of the the borrower most likely owns it outright or has a small balance left on the loan.

That being said, here’s what I would recommend for a thorough DD process:-Build a plan in advance (setup a spreadsheet, meet with the team, etc)-be prepared to take a lot of pictures -document notes with each room (we use notes on Apple and share it with the team)-align the team on standardizing information (example: what does “bad” mean, what does “okay” mean, etc - everyone looks at things differently and you want to make sure the notes are accurate during your debrief)-bring in professionals for things you can see, like sewer lines hope this short list helps! 

While it’s a bigger initial expense, it aligns well with your long-term retirement strategy and could provide peace of mind for years to come.

One thing to watch out for is people who might overpromise or push deals that don’t align with your goals.

It's been a great privilege to work with the City of Maple Heights to establish the egress window codes in alignment with the Ohio Building Codes, so the residents can begin to have safe and beautifully renovated properties when there is such a need.
