Thanks to both of you guys.I'm planning this sale as a cash deal, so no real estate agents and the buyer has several other duplexes in the Peoria area (3 of them within two blocks of this house).

A block away from the Cleveland clinic.

just wait until a septic drain field needs replacing!

Let's not go into how gross the hot tub was for just a few days (but we all know that's par for the course with a large group of adults & kids) and yes, I factor the extra for drain & fill although in this case, it needed even more cleaning.What I'm struggling with is what is the most professional way to reach out to the guest and to write my review? 

But 1) I bet you $100 every one of their neighbors has their ac set below 80. 2) when it’s 115 degrees out I guarantee everyone on my block has their ac set below 80, pry below 75. 

Doesn't sound like it will be a particularly hard model to copy, and when the word gets out you could find 10 houses on the same block under cutting your prices by 50% or more. 

We categorize the problems into two groups:Deal Killers (or Deep Discounts): These include complete system failures, such as needing a new well or septic system, which significantly impact the bottom line.Deal Modifiers (or Small Repairs): These are minor repairs like hydrojetting the drain field, installing a new riser, repairing baffles, or replacing pumps/tanks, which can leverage a lower offer.Step 3: Making the Final OfferWe make our final offer only after a full system evaluation with remedies.

If nothing else it's an education and starting block for your journey. 

You'll want 20k in reserves for holding costs and any misc. costs and you do not want to drain your capital down to 0.I think the max entry point for you on a house that needs work is 150k - 175k. 

(see photos)There is a floor drain on the other side of the 2x6 wall(about 10 feet). so i would just need to tie it into this I am budgeting 20K for a brand new plumbing system for the whole house already since there is not anything in the house currently.The basement floor is already ripped out and down to dirt.
