Essentially don't send me ... or many times i will say look out and high light for me a property that may scare others away and is priced accordingly or a property that seems to be priced a certain amount below market.

For the floors, maybe, but not for screens or light switches.

In my county it's less than $80 to file against one tenant.Sometimes that's the only "revenge" a landlord has with a tenant who views a lease in the same light as toilet paper.Gail

The realtor warned me that they wouldn't budge on the price and we all other investors had been through the building already and deemed it un-worthy of the amount of time and money it would take to turn a profit.  

Ned is correct and is smart to warn you.  

He also approached several businesses who sent their techs in for training & they  in turn would supply him with old equipment.So expanding that though & in light of a recent situation I read about locally why not approach the local community college etc & offer the facility as a culinary school.

(Great way to starting building a realtor-investor relationship)The bank makes the final decision regarding price after they order either a BPO or Appraisal or both depends on the lender.The short sale process takes usually takes 90-120 or longer days depending on the sellers cooperation and how fast the agent works with the bank submitting paperwork received from the seller but ive seen them go 6-12 months :(One warning really try and screen your seller to make sure there not using you the agent to just buy ore time in the property you must take there word on this but hopefully they have good intentions.The uglier the property for me personally I only love properties that look like the guy from lord of the rings (The Precious)Sorry for the lengthy reply just wanted to be thorough.Good luck!

I'd use plexiglass instead of wood and cut the holes with the same hole saw I use for roughing in recessed lighting.
