Too hormonal with what I’ve got.

PA is so very far away to up-root your life, especially if you love CA.  

Many things can go wrong and you need to diagnose the root cause for the back-ups before deciding on next steps.    

Best of luck, we're rooting for you.

If you are focused on craigslist, you are targeting FSBO or landlords...you would have a different message for each audience...and a different message for what you actually want to do with the property...my preference 1) Purchase money mortgage2) Lease option3) Subject to 4) Contract for deed5) Hybrid (seller 2nd)...You have to ask question to get to the root of the problem and then apply the best seller finance strategy.

During this time, my wife and I have traveled extensively using Airbnb and similar sites, and thus have that experience, as well.The problem we have consistently observed is an absolute cavalier attitude from the owners - ¨It´s my house, of course I can do whatever I want - and of course you should pay me for it¨ - and this attitude has been at the root of most arguments against Airbnb regulation.

Sounds like the connection to the main sewer is offset, and the 5 feet preceding that has quite a few roots.  

@Larry Flanagan If the question is rooted in ethics, you engaged in an arms length transaction assumedly without any undue influence applied to Seller.

And Ive used these books to assess which transaction type would be the best place for me to start. why:Im leaning toward getting my feet wet with wholesaling, simply because it involves a ground roots approach to 'finding deals'.

Nevertheless the root cause is the faulty furnace.
