I put in a cash offer today on a sfr rental foreclosure where the boiler and all the pipes froze.

Do you want that call in the middle of the night when a pipe bursts?

Are you saying that they were extremely or overly exhaustive in their efforts to properly vet qualified borrowers?

The sewer drain pipe from the washer runs outside the home, and connects around to another point under the house, due to the lack of crawl space.  

This town is a c neighborhood outside of piping hot Seattle.

If yes,keep it and let the tenant follow their pipe dreams of home ownership somewhere else.Don't make their problems yours.If she needs section 8 to pay her bills,she can't safely finance a stick of gum let alone your property and you'd be headed for a long an expensive foreclosure before long.Now if YOU need to sell because you can't afford to repair it or it will need major repairs like a new roof,appliances,etc. and you haven't been setting aside money every month to pay for them well then that's different.Put it on the Bigger Pockets marketplace and let one of us buy it from you and relieve you of the burden.Good luck.

SFH 3/2/2 approx 1300sqft , taxes $2K market value $140k-$150kThere is a repair needed with the plumbing for the disposal in the kitchen area that the laundry also connects to it, a broken pipe.

Proforma numbers are generally pure pipe dream, so figure out the real numbers based on what they give you.

You need more education based on the fact that you believe a $100K property can cash flow $1000/month, that is a pipe dream. 

As you said, have them pay for the oil and i would have a " security deposit" of a full tank of oil added. just remember, they don't fill the tank and there is no heat in the house during the winter, guess what happens to your pipes and your house ?
