Certainly a possibility but if you go in as informed as possible, you should at least limit the damage if there is any.

The washer and dryer are also in this bathroom.First I want to know how bad that would effect me in trying to sell the house if I fixed it up.

Thank you for the help.YOu need to read up on the laws in Oregon.. since this post was made new laws came into effect. you must be a LICENSED foreclosure consultant to help those in foreclosure.. the ONLY thing you can do is buy them and you cant wholesale in Oregon the way guys and gals do in others states .

Experience has shown me that people in foreclosure some times do not think rationally and many times are in denial.What has been effective in the past is to mail postcards to a general area of smaller older houses simply saying that you buy houses and can close at their convenience when they want.

You can probably put carpet right over the flooring for the most cost effective approach.And then their are the windows.

Secondly, because of this happening so much, Fair Isaac has changed its scoring models so that alternate user accounts will not have as much effect on the score of the alternate user.

I had replaced walls, ceilings, fixed some water damaged spots, amoung other things..

they always do - i think alot of states already have.the changes that the silly politicians implement could really effect investors throughout the country.

The law says something to the effect of 2 of the last 5 years, and I believe that 1031's and homestead's can not be intermingled.

I heard there are new Rent Control laws in effect.
