The issue with this is that most of the advice on BP forums is dished out by folks with 1 or 2 deals...Can you put this together, or do I need to spell this out further?

I'm a newbie also, and like you, find it cathartic folding clean laundry...and even washing dishes.

Such as a New Water Heater, Dish Washer, or Appliance of some sort.

Further, he left furniture, trash, fridge full of food, dishes, dirt and grime everywhere.

Long story short, it's in the 11th hour and the lender realized my wife (Korean) can not sign/notarize the dower rights in Korea (we live in Korea, brother lives in the US) due to the fact that the only US recognized notary is in the US embassy, which she can not access. 

If you can hire a contractor to repair the fridge , dish washer and patio you can charge otherwise you have nothing to charge them for. 

Sink overflowing with dishes?

So dirty dishes are just going to stay in the sink for that long?

I didn't realize that it was so much help and guidance within networking (like Biggerpockets) and don't have to dish out hundreds of dollars to receive.

My income is paid to me in my South Korean bank account, where my manufacturer is based, then i wire it from there to my home account, each month.
