Treat it as an investment and ensure that it is in habitable and comfortable for your tenants.

hi mark, i was thinking of just flipping it. its a small 2 bedroom which would not bring in much for a rental i think, and rental is not really my game. it is in an area that i know is currently in a revitalization effort by the city. the director of development has told me that they are putting in a mini mall with a major grochery chain store involved. also, they have already started to put in 48 new houses in the immediate area as part of that revitalization effort too. admittedly, this house is in an area that has deteriorated over the last 20 years, it does have a multi unit " projects" housing very close by and has gone from largely black area to more arab residents. the street that this house sits on has about 10 new habitat for humanity houses already built and inhabited also. its an area that is up and coming, but is only in process. if i get it, i will let you know, mark

You could buy the property and have a sewer line collapse and need 5k before the place is inhabitable.

USAA is on average with there rates, they are easier on getting approve in comparison with civilian banks IF your debt to income ratio is on average as well, but off course they are some issues where it can be disappointing, sorry to hear about your case.

I'm leaning toward share-cropping hops (as the landowner side) and working with recently discharge military vets who are transitioning back into civilian life within a structured healing program.

I feel for you... although I must admit there have been inhabitable homes we got @ tax lien auctions we wished went up in flames only so we could rebuild them.But your damages are far worse & are going to be a lot more time consuming than anything we have ever seen.

I'm in the process of purchasing my next foreclosure and the bank called to inform me that they have to stop working on my loan because the appraisal came back stating the property did not meet C4 conditions and mentioned the place was in habitable due to poor floor covering(stained rugs loose tiles), holes in walls, urine smells and broken window panes.

I am currently a Air Traffic Controller in the USMC, and could clear 6 figures easily when I become a civilian again, but my goal is to generate passive income because I don’t think I’m build for the normal 9-5.

Based on the pictures, the occupied unit (just like the vacant) would be deemed inhabitable.

Approximately 20,000 of the 30,000+ there are government civilians, most of which are either Dayton natives or plan on staying here long term.
