It's a huge pain to check those sites manually, but I want to stop my tenants from doing this.

Removing wallpaper is a pain in the butt, so if you have a decent amount of it, that's probably equivalent to a $1500-2000 bid if it were just basic prep/paint.

Last 4 homes sold in (4 block radius) prior 4 months median sale price: $117k.

As painful as it is, probably best to make sure that theres heat there to protect your property from any possible damage.

They probably kept it looking nice and it did not become another delapidated vacant house on the block.

@Christy Glenn I feel your pain, it hurts to watch those deals disappear.

I put four 16"x16" concrete blocks in the four corners of the walkway to use it as a planter...not sure, may be something round like a small whisky barrels would look better.Anyways here is the final result after sodding, mulching, cleaning, planting.My neighbors are very happy with the changes.

Otherwise, money in escrow won't be available for repairs.I suggest you get prequalified for you loan and see what your lender says about putting cash in escrow as earnest money or a down (which is usually pain in settlement).

Most of the building is cinder block , but not all .
