So consider how long the lease-up will take:Is there so much rental demand that you can show it during the late stages of reno and get a lease signed?

Ohio is a lengthy foreclosure state and many fees not recoverable0% interest and they don’t pay then you are losing money every month as they have no incentive to payLastly having it at 0% and over priced from its value means if they don’t get a tenant then they just walk away as property is so upside down.If it was me as a seller these are awful terms as a seller.  

Sounds like seller financing or partnering with someone are your best options.

Calling the appraiser to see what you can do to push it up a "C-Level" would be smart before doing any reno also, might only need a few things to make it far more valuable in the eyes of the bank.I've heard of a tactic for figuring out demand, which is to put up a dummy or coming soon listing on facebook marketplace and see the amount of activity you get on it. 

The mortgage company gets paid off first, then in a traditional sale, the rest minus agent fees and utilities and closing costs goes to the seller.

I have a new-construction SFR property under contract, and the seller disclosed that there had been heavy metal contamination in the soil due to mining activity many years ago.

Great job, Would love to see a breakdown of how you financed so many properties in a short tim - Conventional, Private, Seller Financing etc.

While the Agent mention that the seller would prefer no assignment, to which I acknowledged. 

So while prices look flat/down a little, other metrics show a market skewed towards sellers.

Sellers generously accepted because they know some things need repair.
