most sellers will lack motivation if their property is not distressed - and you said you don't want something too distressed.

They already scraped and painted it but management tried to charge $250 for doing so, which i argued stating the cause of the damage was the lack of ventilation.

Is it the lack of state income tax, affordability, or something else? 

I of course (always recommend this) had my lawyer working on the eviction the entire time as I knew they were not trustworthy due to their lack of paying rent and lack of any remorse.

A lack of itemized billing and high surcharges could be a red flag.

The police & animal control are very little help because of a lack of resources... always good to see my tax dollars at work!

Construction skills, loan skills, financing skills, legal understanding, real estate transaction skills, etc all greatly help.Personally I wouldn't deal with someone that has no money, lacks experience, or some kind of resources. 

Many national parks out west are lacking in lodging, some are rather seasonal, but I feel like there's a lot of untaped markets out there. 

So I think it's pretty much like getting any mortgage, but there is a definite lack of communication or clarity from the selling bank (VA).

Due to the fact that this neighborhood is lacking comps and a severe lack of development, Being conservative on size and cost there is more planning to be done. 2130 sqft down with an additional 565 sqft up.
