The inspection issues are just going to come up with the next buyer so just walk away and who knows, maybe they will come back to you.I wouldn't go scorched earth on the owners either and tell anyone who will listen about the house's deficiencies either. 

Google earth and maps pictures don't help.

You are surrounded by great opportunities with fantastic ROI in your own backyard ... why on earth would you go out of state to a market you know nothing about, because some turnkey marketer told you it would be a great investment, thousands of miles away where you'd need to hop on a plane to even see the place, where you are 100% dependent on providers you don't know who may or may not have your best interests at heart to make the investment work, paying retail (or more) for the property, and expecting great financially responsible tenants that would willingly choose to rent your place instead of purchasing their own place for less money?!?

Google earth/map is also great if you live far.  

For some people, this could be earth shattering.

Michael and Dan, We have not listed them because our nephew is a realtor there and if we can find a buyer on our own, we will have him draw up the paperwork which will save money.So, there are no listings, but I am happy to give you some info.These properties may be found using Google Earth, I believe.  

A forclosure seems to be the greatest sin on earth.  

Really down to earth guy who owns his own gig in Granby.

If that's the case, you would want to grade the earth around it to make sure the water runs away from it.One of the main reasons I see for water to get into basements if grading.
