I was  responsible for at least half of those deals.I had to work for minimal wage ($7.25/hr) for 4 months when I first started work so that I could feed my pipeline.

There was nothing that scared me - but it does indicate that the house has not been well maintained. 

Most of the tenants tend to be long term with minimal turnover and rarely issues. 

Waiting to reinvest in a depressed purchase or dip buy.How can I be savvy with the profit, minimize my capital gains, put the most $$$ in my bank.Thanks for the help.

The soil was dry, and there was no indication ofcurrent or recent settlement.

Is there a such thing high Cap properties with minimal headaches?

I don't mind dropping contingencies as long as the loan gets approved - from the info I provided, do you see any other "snags" in the loan approval process that would indicate I should NOT drop contingencies.

I have purchased 4 homes this way and the yard signs are a good indicator the owner is older and more willing to sell.

I'm looking to buy a SFH that is outdated and needs minimal renovations.

There's a number of things that indicate less or higher risk.
