@Bryce Jamison As long as the previous owner keeps up with the maintenance of the home and keeps it in good condition, I tend to favor older homes in established neighborhoods.

It’s above average condition in a good location.

It was only purchased about a year ago and is in really good condition and fits the space really well.

On the plus side the rare times a Section 8 tenant moves the unit is in rent ready condition because it hasn't been ignored as occupied for 6-10 years.

Thanks Jeremy.I'm going to leave my w-2 job and focus on my health and shaking off the burnout I've been feeling. 

I doubt any respectable lender will consider a property without electricity and missing breakers as "working" as the property is not habitable in this condition.

Low or no down, seller financing and low or no interest with a balloon payment later is the holy grail (location, building condition, market also matter but it sounds like you have all that).

If you're planning to sell later, Ohio requires quite a bit of disclosure about property conditions.

The property value must be a minimum of $250,000 USD, and the credit score requirement is at least 700 points, among other conditions.
