The pressure and time constraints of foreclosure may help you to work a deal with the heirs for a deed in lieu of foreclosure.  

While I understand the concern regarding pressure to perform contracted work, it's also important to remember that performing regular maintenance is typically a big money saver.

I am quite close to the dental world (not a dentist) but myself have difficulty gauging the needs for dental services of the community, and what the supply demand ratio is.

If y'all decide that you can handle the pressure of some added risk, then go for it!

Usually, only heating oil USTs associated with commercial properties are regulated. thus, most home heating oil tanks may and often are taken out of service without any oversight from state regulators.Second- the rules that are in effect for heating oil tanks are usually less stringent than for diesel or gasoline tanks since heating oil tends to thicker and may not migrate as far. as a result, many states just require tanks to be cleaned out. they may also require the tanks to be filled with sand or concrete to prevent collapse. but sampling may not be required.Third- the key to determining if a tank has leaked is to collect soil samples from around and beneath the tank (groundwater also if groundwater is shallow). another quick way to see if a tank is leaking is to "dip" it with a stick that has a paste that turns color in the presence of water. generally, if water has gotten into a tank, it can mean oil has leaked out of the tank (although a certain amount of condensation may be present even where there is no leak so this is not a infallible test).Fourth- if there is currently a tank in the basement, ask the owner if there used to be a buried tank (a/k/a underground storage tank).Fifth, If the tank has impacted the soil, the cleanup generally varies from $25K to $50K though the costs will depend ont he depth of the contamination. i once had a home with a heated pool that had pressurized piping and used diesel. the contamination went down 40 feet and the consultant went crazy excavating the soil to the tune of $400K!!!

If there upwards pressure on the market ie a Sellers Market or If there downwards pressure on the market ie a Buyers Market.

When you belong to a trade org like NAR, but back candidates that push these overtly hostile changes on to your only customers (people that buy/invest in property) you should not have to use the realtors, or be pressured in any way to let them be involved.

The U-shaped pipe under the sink also became detached while I was cleaning up the water, presumably due to the water pressure, and drained the dirty water from both sinks into the cabinet below then onto the floor.

I’m many cases you can generate a better ROI on SFH given the current pressure on CAP rates for larger multifamily typically 30-100 units and up but as you know is a much slower inefficient way to scale. 

A few months back she called and said there was a leak in the basement it was the pressure relief valve on the water heater.
