Are they committing code violations that code enforcement can force them to clean up?

If you have assets you are not eligable for Medicaid until that asset is depleted.

I'd like do a lot of repairs/clean up so I can rent it out for $700 instead of $450.I find this is a recurring problem when I buy new properties.... however it's difficult because the units are currently occupied. 

Now, let add to that demolition and clean up. which is roughly another $20 per sq/ft (Another $50,000) so total cost of replacement of that house should be about $350,000, but according to the insurance company the replacement cost would be $457,000.

This one doesn't look too bad--it has some gunk on the floors that I need to clean up, and some other things, but I think it's good enough to start showing after some minor cleanup.

Yet I never agreed to break her contract all this time because I agreed to clean up all of the mold problems.Then last Friday I received a phone call; it was the Deputy Director of the local Section 8 office.

I think he knew that he was giving me a deal on the purchase price, rents are low, and those expenses aren't guaranteed (except for maybe the meth clean-up ~$3000).

If any contamination is found, most likely will require clean up and sign off from state environmental authority.

It needs some lipstick in the way of interior painting and exterior landscape clean up. 

Once the tenant moves out clean up and repair the home and put it on the market.
