I would take the opportunity to account for the cleaning and re adjust your offer to what you are willing to pay for it.

Learning to manage tenants, property managers, and projects is a whole other set of skills.

@Lina BibikovWe are currently setting up to market specs.

There are plenty of block that are still rough you can't sugar coat that, but projects such as the Pennovation Center and the Bellwether District are set to bring tons of new jobs and value to the area.

@Donny Aldo the first round will be sent threw mid August, waiting on a score adjustment I paid down some CC. 

Here are a few I recommend: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Roberto Kiyosaki; "Set for Life" by Scott Trench; "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer; "The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide" found here on BP; "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Tuner.

So, you could set up conditions to try to control potential problems:- Have them pay for monthly walk-thrus to check on condition- How much extra can they afford to pay?

I've just secured my first deal, and it's set to close next week.

I am getting started in rental property investing as drawing my first set of lease agreements currently.

You can make a profit in any market, you just have to adjust your investing style to the market :)  You got this.
