I drive a repoed 98 Blazer that I bought via sealed bid auction this past March from a credit union.

Just use your finish to seal the floor.

Great for sealing around windows.

Just need to make sure it's sealed.

While the property shows well, you would want to have a look at the quality of work - and the things potentially left untouched (perhaps mostly behind the scenes) such as wiring, HVAC, air sealing and insulation, roof, etc.You might also find comps from the local neighbourhood to see where the valuation would/should be if this were a traditional sale.If your plan is to rent, you also want to research the market to know both the market rent and economic vacancy levels and the tenant population(s) to make your business case for the property.

Clean with ammonia and water and then seal it with white pigmented shellac.

1) Bought and managed my own new construction home project2) Negotiated the price of the house from $257,000 to $250,000, rearranged the interior of the home and selected the color scheme for the exterior of the house3) Shopped around for custom-made kitchen cabinets, carpet, hardwood floors, tiles, light fixtures, and appliances4) Installed the hardwood floors, tiles and bathtub surroundings, and painted the whole house all within a week5) Finished a room in a basement from scratch – framed it, sheetrock, door installation, walk-in closet, electrical, wall texture, painted, and hired the right people to finish the carpet and window seal installation - Total cost about $23006) Sold the house 22 months later for $285,000 and made a net profit of approximately $35,000.00 after escrow reimbursement, cashflow from rental income, interest on property tax return and amortization.Great experience and good return on my $13,000 initial investment. 

(Typically in the basement)Chipped or Peeling paintIf you have an HVAC system, exhaust must be properly installed (No spaces or Cracks)Smoke/Carbon Monoxide detector must be within 10ft of bedrooms, stove, and FurnaceNo sharp objects, including on the exterior of the propertyAny area that the tenant does not have access to must be sealed or locked (Crawl Space, etc.)  

(this often is enough for them to be won over and never even bother asking a second offer from an other company) but when they actually do, and they see how pushy and desperate the other wholesalers are, the deal with us is sealed.

However, one inspector we talked to said that 1) he'd be surprised if the bank was willing to have the utilities turned on and 2) usually when they're off and then on again seals contract and crack and then you get leaks (i.e. water), among other problems so it was not an ideal scenario.
