She reached out to me because she knows I'm an investor and primarily employ wholesaling as my strategy and asked if she could unload some of her properties onto me, of course at a discount because we are friends and the last national tenet just moved out of one of her properties.

I just imagine that a landlord who doesn't even know how to evict a tenant is probably desperate to unload the place!

-Are sellers looking to "unload" properties this time of year (i.e. before winter really really sets in)?

The neighbor passed away and the family of the neighbor want to unload the property as quickly as they can.

It sounds like she’s looking for an opportunity to unload this property and you have the potential to create a win win situation for all parties.

Put a waterproof membrane between the concrete and exiting brick, as well as frame with pressure treated lumber where any chance of moisture may occur.

Lumber liquidators has some great products.  20 mil, lifetime warranty for there tranquility line. 

I hear lots of people talk about investing with little to no money and I personally believe those deals are few and far between and probably in D areas where someone just wants to unload their property.

Lumber Liquidators has something better around the same price and can withstand traffic and stains. 

I would not buy a great deal if it was in a high crime area, unless I was going to unload it quickly and had strong buyers already for that area.
