If one's property has peeling paint, gutters with saplings growing, loose railings, majorly cracked up driveways/walks, and other slummy type characteristics it's more likely to fail. 

Appraisal came back with a “possible roof leak based on peeling paint on the ceiling” and “insulation on the steam pipes in the basement appears to be friable and MAY contain asbestos”.

Peeling, chipped and looking bad.

At this time, Hamilton still feels and looks scummy when compared to Halton Peel York Simcoe etc, but that's where the opportunity is.

THEY WONT BE SENDING ANYMORE MASKS.

So I decided to research other lending options, and I read that some portfolio lenders will lend on a property that is in BAD condition, such as the property I put an offer on, a property that would fail conventional financing.Are there portfolio lenders in Massachusetts that would pass a home without a heating source, peeling paint, etc.???

Old houses will always have issues the more layers you peel back.

Second tenant was very nice and then the third tenant said that if we didn't have the face masks on, we couldn't go in.

If you vacuum the mouse droppings, be careful and wear a mask. 

Casinos will have to do distancing, masks, etc.
