Given the right background, someone can really clean up if they have the right type of knowledge and property. 

I've been here for 2 years working on the mine waste cleanup projects but I'm wanting to become a real estate investor.

But you will have to go to a judge to clean up the title if you ever wanted to sell the house for retail.

Additionally I think a good cleanup of the property would be in order and I am not sure what it would cost to get rid of all the "materials" laying around the property in your area.

I know in pa if it’s fallen in your yard it’s yours to clean up .

Although I have never worked as a contractor, through various DIY projects My current skills include anything from landscaping, painting, drywall, siding, windows, trim, cabinet work, decks, minor electrical, minor plumbing, roofing and most any kind of cleanup.

I did this with a recent home purchase to keep from depleting my cash reserves. 

Some things look really bad on the surface but are easy cleanup.  

We only have to wait to close until rehab is complete or 30 days has passed on title.Our strengths are for buy and hold, 30 year term, aggressive rates, speed of closing(20 business days), only 30 days seasoning on title, no sourcing or seasoning on funds for closing, 75% LTV on purchase or refi, close under personal or business for title, and blanket loans for 3-9 properties per loan (helps clean up borrowers bureau as we do not report to credit/ raises LTV, consolidates payments).

If this discussion was had up front and the seller disagreed, I would have at least factored sh*t going wrong (eviction, clean-up, etc) into my purchase price.
