They'll require a property to be considered "rent ready" or "move in ready" and will require simple items like wood rot, moldy carpets, etc etc to be cured prior to closing. 

They all put you on MLS drips and don't respond because if you aren't buying sight unseen and are going to fly or drive in to buy, all the good deals will be gone by the time you organize that.

I'd also maybe set my sights just a tad higher if that is possible. 

House is from 1978 and I'm looking for a contractor to quote me (to help me negotiate a credit with the seller) for:New vinyl siding (existing wood siding is rotten through)New windows and trimNew asphalt shingle roofing and fasciaThanks in advance!

It comes with a pretty big storage shed that depending on condition could be a real nice home office for my reselling business I am starting up.The lot is huge at 4.01 acres and has a good amount of woods that I might be able to make money with. 

I am currently 1/5th owner of 9.8 acres of commercial wooded land.There are business that have been built all around the lot.

We gave one of the tenants cash for keys, made improvements to the kitchen, all wood finishes in the property and removed the old cedar siding and installed vinyl.

Do I Dump this and hope to recoup my sunk costs by selling and redirecting my sights elsewhere?

Front porch needs wood replaced with new on the floor.
