Possible moisture issue, needs a clean up and encapsulated.

Hi All,The Situation: We are looking to buy a house that has been foreclosed on that was in the middle of a rehab and has been stripped, cleaned and some tile put in.

But I can't figure out why it hasn't been cleaned up.

Take what they say and add the $20-30K it would likely cost to clean up the remnants of the house. 

Most of my time is spent moving stuff around, driving to the dump, going to Lowe's and cleaning up the latest rehab mess that I am trying to call home.How could I make the current house hacking situation feel more like home?

Hi Calvin, I looked at that one too as it could be a good deal.It's definitely going to be more than 10k based on the details in the MLS:"Just vacated by tenant; Needs cleaning and the flooring is likely to need replacing throughout; Please be aware there is a STRONG PET ODOR in the house and pet damage in places; One window has broken glass and one shower is not usable; I believe one of the toilets is not functioning as well.

Cool looking and clean website.

What is the going rate for cleaning services when someone moves out of a home or apartment?

If the two tenants that left gave you a deposit, use that to clean up both rooms, take care of any minor touch ups in the apt and take some pics to get the rooms rented again.

If you're comfortable preparing the purchase and sale contract (give yourself exit clauses for financing, inspection, clean title...) working with the title company, hiring a good inspector and negotiating post inspection etc. and have good rapport with the seller, it seems like a case where it makes sense not to use agents to me.
