I've never had to go thru one (knock on wood), but maybe someone else here can help.Title stays in your name.

I'm gonna go check it out today, it sounds like the roof had a slight leak since they didnt seal the roof well enough when the wood burning stove was installed.

For this reason alone I would never buy or even loan on any property sight unseen.Once satisfied I like the area, and after I met and was convinced I could trust this person’s opinion, I could see using him for backup info on whether a specific deal made sense and was worth traveling to see.

They didn't pay 2007 out of sight out of mind, well wouldn't you know it this family bought the tax lien.

I have my sight on a triplex with 1X2br apt, 1X1br apt and 1Xefficiency.

My initial thought is to get it rent-worthy and put a tenant in it--the rental market is very good here--but it is a small house a few miles from town with a large wooded lot.

The apartments units were constructed in 1984 of wood framing, and gross building area is 24,640 SF.

I know the Army used boilers in up state NY, at Ft; Drum, we even had wood/fuel oil fired systems,but I think that was left over from the big one in the 40s.

Buying and selling sight unseen would be kind of hard for the hands on types.

It had hard wood floors and they were well stained.
