I'm just looking for some experiences with basically condemned buildings, which are either brought back to life or perhaps replaced with a manufactured duplex or similar?  

I have lived in Dayton, Ohio for most of my life except for 6 years in the Air Force where I was stationed in the Netherlands.

They bought the house in fair condition knowing that they need to put some money into it to not only improve the future value but to also improve the current cosmetics.  

Then you're in the same situation you were 3 years ago with the same rental price but NO more OMI to use as it's only good once in that building's life.

The conditions are similar to those that would make it possible to ask for a home office deduction.The other moving part indeed is how much can you leverage, @Ariel G. 

Perhaps it's a relative or a surviving spouse, ex-spouse, life partner, etc.

Not normal - threatening to sue me if I kicked him out as he is on disability and I am causing him distress, and threatening to have the tenants who complain to talk to him (probably plan on beating them up or something).

I just started placing adds on Craigslist to find sellers when putting an add is it good to have too much information or just keep it simple like I've seen them: we buy houses in any condition cash.

My dad has a modular home under contract with a private motivated seller.It's under contract well below 50% ARV and is in good condition.  

I know that using a VA Loan , that they have the Strictist Clauses, in that a Property  HAS TO be in Move in ready condition, in order for it to qualify under the VA Loan Guidelines . correct ?
