Trashy.I am also with @Lauren Kormylo on the wood burning fireplace.

Rent goats to clear woods and create romantic lit walking pathRefinish floorsAdd modern master bathroomNew deck and firepit hangout area with hot tub and outside barand....STYLE!

Log beds, solid wood pieces (antique or vintage), antique persian rugs, and decorative items/art that come from the local area.Obviously if you are renting a beach condo, this method doesn't work. 

We have access to 66 acres of wooded land to build on.

Secluded in the woods, but still close enough to town.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

House needs some Interior Cosmetic Work, Wood Fence Repairs and some Plumbing Work.I want to turn and run, but I recently heard where there is a Problem, there is Opportunity.I thought this might be an interesting Case Study.Thanks for the Ideas.If they owe $180k on a $210k property and its a year+ behind then they probably owe taxes and other bills as well.

In a lot of sections of the house this was a good thing because less drywall work, but there is one room that has old wood paneling that was severely warped.

Most other things in the property seem like they can be fixed/replaced as we see fit or as they start to go out (knock on wood).

Hi Joshua,To gain a clearer understanding of the overall condition of the home—including plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, and the roof—and to identify any major issues such as asbestos, water damage, mold, foundation concerns, or wood-destroying insects, I strongly recommend having the prospective properties thoroughly inspected.

Some of the most successful ones I know are totally remote, unique cabin in the woods type.
