I am currently in negotiations for buyout, it appears non protected are holding firm at 40k total and the protected tenants want 85k total. 

My assumption was it was the landlord, which I am not a PM and typically am one to complain about them, but as you mention russell, this was something that appears could have been avoided if better DD was done.

Hi everyone, I’m new to wholesaling and think I finally found what appears to be a good opportunity.

I'd look for areas on the outskirts where development has been happening.Well, it appears that the population of the entire Metro area is doing just fine.The housing market and rents continue to be very strong in the C class areas and up in Toledo proper, and quite hot in the surrounding suburbs.

@Kristine Ann thanks to you I found out yesterday that there is a university housing web site that lets property owners post their listings.

Visitors in 2020 were 11,421,200.So it appears that you are ignorant of the Smokeys visits.

I am risk averse and if I were to purchase, I would tear down to the studs and do a full rehab {this would include getting rid of asbestos shingles and insulation).1) I have done a ton of research and it appears as if getting rid of asbestos is very DIY able assuming you spend money on the safety equipment and use it properly. 

We are both residential appraisers working the NE Florida markets looking to transition over the LONG term to replacing our modest annual income through small/mighty single-family by buying in the path of progress where prices appear to be somewhat undervalued relative to long-term upside potential.

It's not a good look for the property.It appears you missed that the OP’s offer contained an appraisal gap.  

But agree third party real estate web sites don't update status changes of a property based on my experience.
