I have run it through my deal analyzer but need to walk the property with a contractor to make sure that it is what it seems from the repair perspective.  

Walk through that phone call emotionally while you're in Germany.

Set up an appointment to walk through the property, and bring along a home inspector.

Our house is right downtown, within walking distance to town and campus so we never had trouble finding good tenants.

We'd like to do a "before" walk through to see the condition, see what can be done to it and how to be cost effective.  

Good photos can bring a buyer to the door and sometimes they will be sold before they walk in.

The super bonus here, is that 99% of the investors would walk past this deal. for you, your most likely outcome is that you make a little monthly cash and dont have your credit at risk  Better case is that your buyer pays for 10 years, and they walks away leaving you resell the house with equity in it the second time.To your successJosh

I hired a gal right away to do my lawn..So they are definitely trying to get money into the city any way possible, but in a way I guess it's good, lots of cops, getting rid of crime, and as long as we stay on timeline for our SOW, then they are ok with it...I also got mad at Safebuilt because they were telling me what I should be spending on my property saying the estimate I got from my contractors was too low, and I was like, that was what my guys quoted me, they were actually trying to help me so you don't demolish my investment, and those are the numbers i'm sticking too, if my numbers were so high, it's better for me to just not pay taxes, and walk away, you keep it!  

I don't mean to fear monger, but if you're not comfortable being at the property during the day and night, or you wouldn't walk around the neighborhood, don't buy there.If you're chasing a great deal, you're doing just that... chasing.

You literally stick to the kitchen floor as you walk and it has a serious odor of stale beer and body odor.
