If it's because there's hail damage or the HVAC is old or whatever, then laughable@Andrew Syrios What about needing to add a clean out and old corroded copper pipes?

They're only selling well below the ARV if there is a giant mess to clean up.

but yes it does come down to that.. in tax cert states keep in mind many insurance companies or large corps or hedge funds will bid down the returns to 3 to 5% there by cleaning the clock of every private investor who thought they were going to win at auction.. so what happens in reality is people burn out doing DD and never getting anything . 

If you are renting by the room, I'd also get a cleaner in to clean the common areas.

I usually do this to help cover the carpet cleaning costs once the tenant moves out.

Why does it change things-- unless you're thinking cleaning, etc., but those were all sunk costs from the get?

SUPER user friendly and very clean/sleek designs to help convey your point and content across to your audience.

Do I have to disclose to buyers that this was a marijuana grow house in the past even though everything has been cleaned up and there is no mold?

Then, look at any updates that might bring in MORE or HIGHER rents, such as kitchen, baths, fresh paint, clean floors (carpet or hard surfaces), ceiling fans, window AC units, etc.

This has been a journey for me and just want to make sure to stick with it and sort of clean up my portfolio for the better so we can see positive cash flow.
