When dealing with a hoarder house, safety should be the top priority.

Will be a long road ahead for you all over there, been praying for speedy recovery and safety

I'm the landlord of a 3-unit building and wanted to know if I should be concerned about any potential plumbing issues (like freezing pipes) or other safety concerns.What steps should I take to protect the building, and are there any other things I should be worried about in this situation?

It might save you from costly surprises down the road.Finally, be patient.

Eventually, we found ourselves being the first call when they were ready to make a move.We didn’t rush them, we didn’t push for the sale, we stayed patient and persistent—and when the time was right, those long-standing relationships turned into deals that no one else in the market knew about.This approach not only led to deals but also built our reputation.

Please pray for safety & much success.

I recommend focusing on getting a great investment property and disregarding Section 8 in that pursuit because any property can be a Section 8 property, but a lousy investment is lousy regardless of having a Section 8 tenant or not.Section 8 will perform a basic functional and safety inspection for your units after you have an agreement with a Section 8 tenant and your local housing authority.

I’m looking forward to getting back to REI, but I’m going to be patient and watch for the right deals — even if it’s 2-3 years out.

The houses are out there, they just get snatched up quick so be patient and keep up on the MLS.  

Meanwhile, the buyer remained patient, saying he was willing to wait.
