possibly due to one currently being homesteaded or getting other tax credits (ie, disabled, vet, blind, etc).p.s. you say that the public records say that 'they are both worth about....'

It is wiser to make a calculated move than to blindly make a move. 

Seems like the blind leading the blind, with 7 or 8 blind folks ...

PetitionI've also begun reaching out to my State Representative's about creating legislation that would require homes on blind auction sites (such as auction.com) to have at a minimum a structural inspection completed and posted with the paperwork. 

Its a second floor two bedroom (whos tenant has been there for 15 years and pays almost $500 below market value, but she is blind with no family and if I evict her she will have no where to live until low income housing takes her in, hence why she is still there and causing us a lot of headache with moving forward)   and a main floor one bedroom with a partially finished basement.    

Just my two cents if im a buyer touring the property, understanding I’m in Maryland and don’t know your market, I’d want it to be more turn-key.Missing fridge = $$ and annoyance for me to purchaseNo blinds/privacy anywhere in the house = $$ and annoyance for me purchaseNo glass installed around the shower = $$ and annoyance for me to purchaseUgly fan above bathtub, cover with white register?

There were some normal things like blinds and yard work but there was over $4k for carpet, vinyl, drywall and paint.

Without these steps it's easy to fly blind and never develop a plan. 

There were also other things like stains in the hot tub, furniture moved around, cobwebs on walls & decks, missing half & half creamers, broken blinds, unwashed quilts etc. 4) I wasn't trying to fire the cleaners after the first instance of an issue.

guarantee the dogs will destroy blinds, and i promise they'll chew on something,... it's better to be the nice guy upfront and state it's your standard fees, and has nothing to do with the tenants, and you can always refund them money, they won't go after you for breaking a lease if it's in their favor!
