You don't have to get the stump and roots "gone", they'll eventually rot away (maybe even in your lifetime)

These are large once-expensive homes that are now rotting on parcels of land that nobody wants.

-inspected crawl space -replaced wood deck rail that was rotted and re-painted deck (last painted 3 years ago)-soaked shower heads in CLR-added fresh sand in paver patio-changed home air filter and left new renters with 3 new filtersAnything else you do regularly to your rental properties??

Quote from @Ryan White: Its listed for $29k but going to offer 10k.it needs a complete rebuild, floors are gone, including the joists all rot under the walls, termites damage up the wall framing on one end that i can see, roof as well needs replaced. the flooring is the main thing im worried about, like do you have to take down the whole frame of the house to replace all the joists? 

But I would definitely get it removed asap because you said it was rotting and looks like it’s going to fall over.

How do you know there isn't an unreported water leak rotting out the floors?

Craziest DIY we did was jack up a house to replace a rotted sill plate and rim joist.

In our latest purchase, these toilets rocked until the ceilings below were damaged and the flooring rotted.

You need to get a good roofer out and determine if 1) there is any framing rot going on 2) any insulation affected and 3) any sheetrock ceilings affected. 

if you think about a lot of the lower end areas or urban cores around the major metro mid west and rust belt cities were properties trade as is for 2 to 20k... if you have to deal with these two issues and it cost a bunch .. the properties will be worthless.. banks wont take them back they will go for tax's to the country then on the county land rolls only to rot away...
