Not just to protect your property but to teach tenants how to keep themselves healthy/clean.

Perhaps its just because I'm still young single, and healthy, that I think that makes sense.  

In this market I can actually still cashflow and even hit a 7 or 8 % cap while living in one room if I find the right deals.I have a healthy cash position and feel like I'm ready to make this move into my first property but I am having financing issues.

You better Google that and do some reading if you prefer to live a long healthy life.You can sign the online petition here (I just did):http://www.ftcldf.org/petitions/pnum1061.php

Finally, for BRRRR to work, I'd have to be at 80% LTV or less after repairs for a bank to refi, which means I'd still need to have a healthy margin of cash to take out, so you're looking at like 60% LTV after repairs to get decent cash back out.

@Nick Panetta metro health is investing millions into the surrounding neighborhood infrastructure.

The owners health is going downhill and we have thought of make him the offer to keep the homes and sell them off himself but, don't think thats something he would be willing to consider.

@Angela YanSecurity cameras aImed on the area and a sign on the dumpster that reads “ smile your on camera “

He smiled and said OK.Did not hear back from him the rest of the day Saturday........Did not hear back from him on Sunday...........Monday morning I call him and ask, when can I expect to get the offer from you so I can sign it......He says, "I'll have it to you on Tuesday".  

This is your child smiling at you and saying, "pretty please" to something you know they shouldn't be doing, then you look at their smile, and rationalize right into what they want.Be a parent...be a landlord.If they have to move, find a place for them to move to that they can afford...that you own.
