I am sure this point has been made somewhere before and probably in a book but it just dawned on me...this was the norm for hundreds of years before commercial banks were able to merge and grow and own 'everything' in the country Anyways, nothing earth shattering here but thought I would pass along.

Hello everyone,We looked at a property that needs some repairs (new water heater, washer/dryer, dishwasher, paint, flooring, kitchen counter-tops, cabinets).

V/r,Dawn

Thanks guys...Dawn Anastasi, I've offered the cash for keys with no luck so far (out of curiosity, what amount do you typically offer or does it change depending on the circumstances?).

It never dawned on me to research the public records for the owners information.

Thanks @Dawn Anastasi.

@Dawn Brenengen Thank you for the welcome as well. 

Also, a new range, dishwasher and paint.

Once finished cooking, you still need to carry the the cooked-in pot full of pasta water or whatever to your sink and/or dishwasher.
