You don't know the law, you don't know how to handle difficult tenants, and you aren't local to work on it.This is what Ohio law says: “The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make ordinary, necessary, or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, deliver parcels that are too large for the tenant’s mail facilities, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.”I would give the tenant a short, direct warning that they have 72 hours to coordinate with the vendor and set a schedule for repairs.

We have submitted fair offers considering the condition of the property (sellers don't keep up with the maintenace and repair as they should, for a property that they are going to lose and get no money only some debt relief.) 

You have heads in beds, but are they all paying.Create a budget for repairs and build that into your underwriting.Gino

I offered a credit to the buyer to repair the attic.

You'll get experience with leases, tenant management, some repairs.

Other cases- hazard insurance was not renewing or placing high subject to repairs/improvements to maintain or the market cap of my commercial apts was rising as fast as interest rates like in '22. 

@Account ClosedIf you are good at what you do the it should not really be a risk but cost of doing businessIf you are trying to do this remotely without seeing a property, having an understanding of value or repair costs then it’s not risk it’s just stupidity as you really are not wholesaling.

They forgot they haven't paid taxes in 5 years,  They forgot they got a big insurance check, but didn't do the repairs, so now you can't get insurance. 

PITI + property management + vacancy + capex + repairs. 

You do owe them for any work they did to repair the property, board it up, meeting the police on your behalf, etc as a result of the break-ins. 3.
