Naturally I had a title report pulled and it was clean.

Put new carpet in the rooms, pressure cleaned the exterior, threw stone paneling around the fire place.

Cleaned up the yard as well.

Most of them get cleaned up and then Zillow does not track them and remove them once a homeowner clears the back debt.

Is there ways to help reduce those costs other than upgrading to energy efficient appliances in the future. i did see a mention of the Clean Reads program for water in the Cleveland area for more accurate measurements if anyone can help explain that a little more.

I need your stuff out of there so I can clean it up and get a paying renter. 

I ended up hiring cleaning contractors and looking to hire handy man to fix few things, that will cost more than damage deposits ($1100) before to make this house ready for new tenants.After I told everything to seller he is not gonna sign the paper to release escrowed amount to me.

I give the option of paying an early termination fee a d walking away clean, or she remains responsible for rent and utilities until a qualified replacement tenant takes over.100 years ago, people would lose multiple children, spouses, parents, it other relatives, yet they still lived in the same home for decades.

Thank you alot for all of this advise and insight, how would  Finance when you are just starting out in flipping house or in genera, ( harsh loan, private loan etc)

For example, does that include cleaning fees?
