Some other ideas to look forOver grown and dead vegetation when it's apparent the images were taken in a summerGreen or empty pools in the back yardFun fact: Back in the 2000's and early 2010s after the crash, kids would use google maps to find houses that were empty and go crash them, have a party, and take offJunk in the back yardDingy and worn out roofs

We cut the vegetation and removed the garbage.

Very versatile tool.

The VA loan program is probably the financial swiss army knife of lending as its extremely versatile, - there are no title seasoning rules like conventional(6mos) or fha (12 mos) for cash out, - you can go up to 100% LTV on cash out while most other programs are 80-85% (conv/fha), - you can refi later on VA to VA with out documenting income or assets (VA streamline refi called a VA IRRRL (interest rate reduction refinance loan)- income guidelines are much looser than FHA and conventional, i've seen Debt to income get approved on VA up to 72%. 

Currently the land looks like a forest (vegetation everywhere) and Paris is paying the taxes and water on the land (although water meter was taken out when Gary demolished it). 

Not for the faint of heart but it is pretty versatile so I'm sticking with it for now. 

Here is that list:KitchenWindow near panty doesn't openPantry shelves and storage areas not cleanedOld items left in apartment (former tenant's junk in closets, etc)Hole in bottom and side of cabinet above stove (just an fyi)Floor has damaged areas (fyi only)Back Corner BedroomBroken exterior window, glass not cleaned upBlind missingWindow not sealedCrack in ceiling in closet (fyi only)Middle BedroomBlind in right side is brokenLarge BathroomFan makes loud high pitch noise (only sometimes)Minor stains in floor (clean if possible, or just fyi)Molding is cracked on tub (fyi)Blind doesn't work properlyFront BedroomBoth blinds missingFront ClosetItems left behindLiving RoomWindow sills very dirty, have spider websSmall cabinet to right of fireplace difficult to open/shutFireplace is not cleaned - wood and ashes left behindStain on entry french doors (looks like a booger)GeneralHot water does not workAll window sills are very dirty, some have spider webs (screens were left open allowing spiders to access)Many electrical outlets are recessed further than they should be - some plugs may not be able to plug inWindows (interior or exterior are dirty/stained)Door from dining room to kitchen should be removed (no door handle from dining room side and door scratches ground)Vegetation at front door needs to be cut back (covering mailbox, blocking entry to door)Exterior of house is dirty, should be power washed - looks like a sore thumb in the neighborhoodWe basically agree on having the apartment cleaned (windows, "booger" thing, etc), loose items removed, removing the door, correcting the vegetation and having all of the blinds replaced, hot water being corrected. 

(A foundation drainage swale, also known as a vegetated swale or grass swale, is just a fancy term for a wide shallow ditch which carries away run-off water from rain, sprinklers, and so on) and maybe you can mask it with a small retainer wall.

I’m very versatile when it comes to work and labor.
