Because you have a line of potential buyers and you have $2,500 EM and there's no financing contingency, I'd play hard ball.

She must have really been concerned with the pipes freezing in the balmy temperature because every faucet in the house was wide open.

Besides telling them the truth separates me from all the other slime balls that lie through their teeth to get the property under contract (not saying thats you of course).

I am just ball parking, should these need to be replaced:Replacement of top unit ceilings and associated vacancy and unit clean up. $10?

With your 22% you're not including vacancy so once you include vacancy and the management, you're in the ball park.One item I didn't see listed is whether the park is on city water/sewer or private well/septic.

Electric baseboard heaters are cheap, and if you put in or beef up the insulation, especially on the floor, you can bring the space up to and maintain a comfortable temperature.

No matter what you are doing with this house all it takes is the right temperature and humidity if you did not kill everything.

However the other things about the kitchen, paint, and garage overhaul I'd want to do upfront.I was definitely thinking more in the 40k ball park for this building.

I don't even know if the estate has enough value in your state where it has to be probated.Also in the states I do probate in anyone can petition to open probate and any of the heirs can get the ball rolling and you don't need to spend money on an attorney seeing as the value is low.

Ned Carey Thanks alot for your time and input..i meant get documents from the attorney and listing agent..So once i come up with all of the Fees to get the ball rolling I know all the steps to get a deal done?..
