But having worked for a construction company in college I like the idea of a complete clean slate.  

It does need new carpet/paint/intense cleaning/landscaping, would it be worth getting estimates on that?  

This way the property has a clean title once the new owner has it. 

I would at least show an effort and keep the receipts for bug bombs, ant/roach spray, d-con mouse/rat poison, insect granules, professional carpet cleaning. 

It's a sfr, brick bungalow, 3/1, move in ready, just needs some cleaning...Is $45k too low???

They have very clean homes, good prices and only a 5% premium, just not sure if they are legit or scam. genesisauctions dot com.Not sure if I can put site address in forum, not promoting them, just need to know if they can be trusted.Thanks.

We maintain the yard weekly (over 2 acres) and at first they did good about keeping the dog waste cleaned up.

If you can have it steam cleaned so it looks nice I would let it be.

A few weeks back I started getting complaints of roaches from one of  my units in a six unit building we own...I scheduled a whole-building inspection expecting to find one piggy who needed to be prodded to clean up their act.The problem I identified was a bit more system systemic...I have operated a 6 unit building of mine for six years now without a dumpster.

Also friend had been to the place several times even helping clean and again this is two hours away.
