The $80k number comes from other actual listings separate from AirDNA.

Actually,  $7,000 is what the p/t painter quoted--I hadn't asked her to price the radiators, so in my post I rounded up to $10,000 to include them and other incidentals. 

Hey Katelin, Welcome to the BiggerPockets community, and thank you for your service.

We saw quite a lull in Q1 of this year and were actually able to get some pretty good deals and negotiate offers more than I've see in the last 2 years.

Did you actually look at these properties in person? 

I'm particularly focused and eager to learn as much as I can about the Sub-To (Subject-To) method and Owner Financing.A little about me: I own a multi-service home improvement company, which has given me a solid foundation in property maintenance and renovation.

I was the featured speaker with a local group (actually nationally presented) on building energy efficient homes. 

Yeah, I actually just did that on a very large deal that I had that I couldn’t take on, but I was screwed over and they ended up stealing the deal away from me and taking everything even though they said they were going to pay me for doing everything for them and finding it for them and all that.

and get the work done yourself.If the seller is willing to handle enough issues by way of a credit versus an actual repair, don't get wrapped up in the details - you're still getting what you want but you are now in the driver seat of who does the repairs.

After learning about the 2 options, "quiet title" action or "title certification" through Tax Title Services, I realized there are ways to ensure clear title.
