I know sales in this business matter but entertaining calls from unqualified buyers, buyers window shopping, or newbie investors who might potentially remember how nice you were and refer you to a few 1000 friends they have across social media is very important these days for any business.

Please help me with the steps, I drove by a home that looked abandon so I pulled over went to the door and knocked.. there was a paper in the window that actually said the home was being treated as abandon although there was a mattress and other junk looks like someone is staying there I wrote down the address and went to pull a property report from realquest and pulled up zillow realquest shows the home is in foreclosure and zillow says its not for sale... what can I do now?

Because it was so expensive, they really only used in in high humidity areas (like trim in the kitchen/bath or windows).

There is some guy in a back room with no windows in NY or NJ who is in charge or getting rid of this property for the bank.

-make sure doors and windows open and close properly if some of them don't could indicate structural problems-check ceilings for water stains or stains that might be covered up with paint, or rough spots on walls could indicate water damage or possibly mold-ask seller to purchase a home warranty in your offer just in case heater or central air takes a dump-make sure floors are level, if not check beams, or foundation outside for cracks these are some major things to look for, but not deal breakers at least for me. these can get you big discounts and can be fixed

While in the middle of bare floors throughout the house, an airless spray gun in the middle of the living room, there was a For Sale sign in the living room window.

Replacing the windows with thermally-efficient glazing would be another area to consider.

Stupid tenants would not open the bathroom window to ventilate moisture, and would even keep the door closed after showers.

My rehab was not a total gut, but pretty much everything you see (except drywall, mechanicals, tubs and windows) is new.

And there are over 10,400 properties on the market as of today.I think the window of opportunity will be open for year to come, and you are near the trough of the market cycle there.Originally posted by Will F.
