@John VietmeyerAre the bids broken out to show materials/parts and labor?

@Nina Gibilaro That depends on the loan type, and are the windows are broken     if the windows aren't broken I would not see why you would need new windows for a loan.    

If this is one of your first rodeos, I suggest you don't get too clever (although I do like the broken key idea). 

I'm wondering if there are any Canadian investors on the forum that have broken through, and how.

I know exactly how you feel.I had a tenant once leave the property with over $6K in damage, having broken the lease and given my contractor the keys after dark.

This means the Joker Broker had broken alot of laws listing a property they had no legal interest in or permission to market, but not my problem.Shortly thereafter, we got buyer and seller on the phone, and they began negotiating the deal.  

It will be at Buffalo Wild Wings at 7 pm in Broken Arrow.

Even then, every time I went to the store, I'd come back and something had either broken, been done incorrectly, or was heading in that direction.

It is being sold "as is" in fact my husband pulled a pressure test on it (he is a plumber and contractor) and it did not pass so it likely has some broken pipes.

If they live in a single wide trailer with broken down cars around it.
