This property was super clean as it which made it a perfect candidate for either a flip or a rental.

Wife and daughter don't like them as they make it hard to clean their hair of shampoo.

During this whole time I mucked around in tiny crawl spaces with mouse crap and snakes, cleaned sewage off of myself more than once, made at least two emergency room visits (one for drilling a hole straight through my hand installing cabinet knobs), sweated my *** off in attics in the summer.

You can clean up other aspects of title that remain later, including prior defects in the chain of title and liens, but the original deed and the nature of the interest(s) granted, do not change.

And you have to keep the filters clean, which tenants will not do and the unit starts dripping.

You can request those tenants to clean the bathrooms through rotations or just charge them a small cleaning fee to hire cleaning crews to clean the house 1-2x a month or you do the cleaning yourself to save up money and have extra passive income.

If I only had more available cash when prices were low i could have cleaned up.No matter what you need to make sure you are not over leveraged.

@Kent Kiess the downside is if you do borrow your own $$ You instantly reduced your death benefit your lived ones receive 2nd the amount of insurance your loved ones get is drastically less vs if you bought term.Question would you ever pay an extra 200 a month on your auto ins if it had a savings account mixed in confusing the real amounts and cost of your insurance.Keep it clean and separated.

Also seen the opposite where decent lot, decent price, looked clean, but when I got there must have been $100,000 in cleanup needed with all kind of trash and junk on that lot.I've never been to Harris county auction, but from what I understand they have multiple auctions and maybe even different locations depending on the precinct, so know where to go if you can.At one time there was a lady that would offer orientations at Harris county maybe 1 hour before the auction starts.When you are ready to bid, know how to pay.
