Everybody should get a Home Inspection...even Home Inspectors should get a Home Inspection :-)I mean, for only $4-500 you get a fresh set of eyes on the house that could save you thousands.But you do need a really good Inspector.

Talk to enough homeowners and you'll soon find someone willing to sell at a wholesale price, especially if the owner lives out of state.Driving for Dollars: The last method is to simply drive around and look for homes in disrepair... things like uncut grass, broken down cars in the driveway, or properties that could really use a fresh coat of paint.

Fresh paint is something you could do.

Same with power washing roof/ driveways for $200 once every 2 years to keep our rental fresh.

Yes I will have a mold person out, and have someone remediate, and check after...should they accept my offer, which I'm not counting on as banks are just like that.The mold exists because the house was foreclosed on in Dec, realtor says the pipes burst, to me looks someone re-entered after, and turned the water on as they walked out of the building, from the way the mold seems to have spread, and the basement was clearly flooded as all the utilities are covered in fresh rust.

The entire house got a fresh coat of paint (interior + exterior). 

It can happen sometimes but its typically going to be harder to get than a fresh hard money on a buy/rehab and you'll likely have to pay up fees/high rate

They won’t be expecting the same money as their neighbors with the shiny new kitchen and fresh paint.

This resets and starts fresh every year.Some brokerages charge monthly desk fees to cover the basic administrative costs.

I have always heard it is best to kick out the old owner and start fresh.
