I see people selling courses and books on the subject, but I'm not sure if it's just a pipe dream.

But home ownership was something I didn’t dare dream of until my sister laid out the facts for me.

The existing tenants have mentioned separately (this is an up/down duplex) of smell of mold.This is not difficult to believe if in fact there are these obvious cracks on the home exterior.There is no doubt water/moisture is getting into the home and creating a condition for mold to grow.We had a structural engineer out to do our buyer’s inspection yesterday, report is due out later this evening (11/04/17).Verbal communication while on site, indicated a mutually shared concern over these cracks.The roof appears fine.A wall in the backyard will need replacing as the soil weight has almost pushed this wall over and it is only a matter of time before this thing comes falling over.Boiler may need replaced, windows as there is some clear cold.These are just concerns at this time but inspection report will lay all this out once received later today.I should have been a little smarter in not agreeing to a change in inspection objection deadline when it was presented by seller.My buyer’s agent and I should really have talked this one over, as I realize now that, it left us with only hours after inspection to come up with our inspection objection response and to be honest I will not have time to get bids for any of the extensive repair items which I do not doubt will be confirmed in the report received later today.Seeking any advice that you can give on the following: Would you proceed with purchase of the above detailed home?

Larger amount is weighted as a loan and not a credit line.

After many changes in trajectory the move now is confirmed: I'm relocating to Toledo, Ohio by early 2018 - around February, to chase my Real Estate dream!

Of course, if you're an AGENT, these are the very properties you dream about being asked to list!

If the thought of that is unbearable & a career in Real Estate is your dream you will need to look into more active aspects of the business such as becoming an agent or doing flips.

The dream scenario to acquire a large complex is through probate where several people now share in the ownership of a complex and none want to run it.

Let me know if i'm dreaming or I just haven't located the right people yet........  

The roof is new and looks good on the surface, but all this added weight can't be good, especially in winter with the weight of snow/ice.
