Test them out?

The bottom of the market was a great time to buy, also an easy time to buy and make money, but the true test of real estate is to be able to do it in any market.

But unless you are going to roll out an expensive and intensive marketing campaign...

All of the college students will likely fail the "reliable job history" test. 

Nearly a 2% test (formerly 2% rule) property.

with out knowing how to spot or test for these problems in your system you will not know that answer.

Is it isolated and/or relatively minor such as old 9" tiles in the basement, insulation wrap around pipes or ducts for the heating system; vermiculate in the attic; or something more intense as in asbestus in the plaster used on walls or ceilings.If the form of asbestos present is highly/easily friable and cannot be adequately sealed from the living space, you are looking at abatement the cost of which could be small (removing tiles or pipe wrap) to considerable (removing all the plaster in the house).  

Just be sure to do a few test signs first by just putting up 1 or 2 to gauge how they pull.

I ran test ads and get at least 30-50 responses a week for $800/mo, it's a hot rental market.

I have never had the IRS redeem a property I bought at auction and I bought my first ones in the late 70's.so for all intense and purposes if you have a BOA loan recorded in 2000 and you have all manner of other liens and judgmetns or mortgages recorded after this they will get extinguished at the sale..
