Their dollar (Loony) is weak right now.

Is that a strong, weak or standard offer from a flipper to investor Cash buyer in your professional opinion??

Coupled with the extended depth of frost a few years ago, which caused the Orangeburg to expand and contract creating weak spots throughout many lines.

I believe the current fix is to crimp on pigtails to all ends and replace the old switches and outlets... varies but think it is running $2500 to $5500 per house to correct... aluminum vibrates when it gets a little loose causing resistance and then heat.. hence the problem.lots of homes have black pipe or steel pipe water lines used a lot in older homes and it is OK but it rusts inside and then as the corrosion continues the pipe gets weak at the joints mostly and often can fill up  and restrict water flowall this being said I have seen extension cords run behind finished walls,  I have heard people removing 40amp breakers and replacing with 50amp breakers because the 40amp keeps tripping.  

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.  

A 4" snow accumulation revealed several small leaks that had been present and missed prior and weak boards.

Demographics are just a baseline.You can buy in an amazing area but have a crappy property location or a lease for the income stream.The badly placed property in the great area or a weak tenant or unfavorable lease can be just us bad or worse than purchasing in a bad area.National median income average is about 54,000 nationally.

In a weak economy a sfh has the advantage of owner occupied or investor.  

You sound desperate and weak.

And if your why is weak, your outcome will be also.Best wishes to you on your journey.
