The only real risk to you is the fact that the property will now have to appraise for $61,000 in order to get this deal done, rather than $58,500 if the offer were "clean".As a contingency, you should discuss with your agent what your plan will be if the appraisal comes back short. 

Put all of the information on a nice clean spreadsheet then shop the deal.  

Unless tenants have nice stuff and keep the place clean it's hard to get top dollar for occupied units.

If the place is not cleaned or rent is not paid, they are both liable.

Yes, there are more costs such as furnishing, cleaning, management, etc., and I do most of the cleaning myself (but have used crews when I cannot get out of the office), but the profits far outweigh any costs or time I put in.

I would not do anything to it aside from a deep clean.

People who can pay top of the market are usually the ones who care to live in a clean and nice space, they will take care of your house.  

Pay the attorney fees and make sure you get it cleaned up and cleaned up right.Best of luck!

I practice probate law in Colorado Springs and assist investors in cleaning up title issues on probate properties.

clean everything, and then, hire a cleaning service to clean it again. make any necessary repairs.
