THOSE people will almost KNOW what you have locally,,,but will want to sell you a BIG ticket item to cure it.

Very interested in hearing possible cures.

Given your cost to cure estimates/decription, you are not limited to either hard money or a conventional rehab to perm program.

If a property doesn't meet code or has some issue that is required to be cured before title may be passed the transaction can be accomplished by selling the company in most cases.

My first reaction was that this feels like a bit of killing a mosquito with a hammer, but your later postings reveal that you find them to be a troublesome tenant.You likely have cured them of fixing things without your permission, but I doubt their complaining is going to stop.

The homes there has a lot of cure appeal.  

Zillow update said it was foreclosed to lender but not auctioned off. can i still buy the house from the owner and cure the loan?

Yes, impossible to cure?

 You cant come up with a cure till you know the cause .You need to know the source of the water .

It's the good old "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" situation.
