Well during the installation (We had a very WET winter with the snow fall in the winter and rain fall in the spring) the ground water was a lot higher than the engineer expected.

with incessant internet research and reading about landlording, investing, and trying to put two and two together to make a deal happen.

The roof was covered in snow, but I figured a 10 year old roof should be ok.

All the 'room' in these deals come from the sellers - but now I see one, and I understand.Sure, they could keep it over the winter, heat it, fix the floors, get it inspected and re-do wiring and plumbing as needed, dredge the pond, knock the down the animal infested outbuildings, mow all fall and part of spring, check for snow dams and water damage all winter.

I live in Iowa, so there would be plenty of snow/ice.

This sfr shows much better when there is not snow on the ground.

I've factored in Taxes, Insurance, Cleaning, Snow/Lawn, Turn over.I've got the money to fix it, and my 8-5 can supply additional funds to turn it around if needed.Knowing what you know, would you jump on this deal?

certain areas will crush you with lawn mowing fees, debris removal, snow removal, etc.

Being from the Buffalo area, I can relate about the snow and cold weather.
