There was a lot of trapped equity and they were just starting to show some uptick in maintenance issues.  

An interesting little weekend read for all you sticks and bricks folk out there...https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/thomas-edisons...Edison was ahead of his time in many ways with fireproof, insect-proof, and easy to clean affordable housing but clearly it didn't work out.

Looks like its been repaired in the past , water sitting in the pipe means its trapped ( doesnt have enough fall) due to the repair .

Idk if that makes sense but in summary, if I rent to normal in section 8 area the cash flow is going to be minimal.

To prevent the infestation of rodents and insects, Tenants must remove any collected trash and food waste from the Premise at least once a week.

I realized the debt trap I had fallen into had nearly drowned me.My wife and I put all of our debts on paper and decided  that we were no longer using debt for our personal finances.We got married last August and since then we paid off all our debts:$17,000 Wife’s Student loan$25,000 Credit card debt on one card$3509 credit card #2$500 credit card #3$3000 HELOC$12,000 car loan$8000 another car loan$4000 funeral expenses I did it the old fashioned way, lots of hard work and sacrifice.

Our objective is to eliminate water / humidity near the building foundation and also get rid of these hedges that just trap leaves and trash beneath them.

The agent value comes in analyzing the value, neighborhood trend/knowledge, how to read/research the seller as to motivation, protective and trap clauses in the wording of the contract, which lenders actually perform, which title companies to avoid, which inspectors to use/avoid, how to negotiate when problems occur prior to closing, etc, etc.....all of which You you are not experienced/competent in.So, You decide.

These shrink very slowly and can cause floors out of level.Decrepit plumbing / leaky waste lines.Look for wood destroying insect damage. 

Most low income tenants just like many millennial's will be "trapped" into only renting.
