Normally a contract will say that the seller is selling the property "free and clear of all liens and encumbrances"  In other words any back taxes mortgages etc get cleaned up at settlement from the SELLERS funds. 

All other stuff had to be cleaned and returned weeks later.We probably could have sued since it took them weeks to respond to us about the initial and resulting damage.

@Nicole Marshall get the windows squeeky clean, light sand if old finish is flaking off or oxidized, automotive spray primer and then automotive enamel spray paint. 

 :)If you talked to the seller about the Sub2 route and you can get the deal done with another investor (or get someone to make a good clean offer once you bring it to the REIA like you mentioned in another post) then go for it.  

You can't keep a place that clean without getting at least ants...Good luck!

The ARV on this property if I just clean it up (10-15k) is about 185k and if I rehab it (40-45k) it's about 220k.

I spend a total of .4 hrs cleaning the exterior and sent professional cleaners over to give it a quick shine.

And they will try to wash rugs, dogs, babies, and never clean the lint trap destroying the dryer unit.  

If Tenant wishes to use these appliances, Tenant agrees to use themproperly in accordance with manufacturer instructions and assumes allresponsibility for their care and cleaning. 

I have a business banking relationship as well as personal with Wells so perhaps I will start there.I guess this is typical, but the seller requires a contract before allowing viewing of the property, of course this would be contingent upon loan, inspection, etc. but I have yet to view property number 2. as far as property number 1 I have seen the units and their may be issues with gas wall heaters, but they are neat and clean with a long history of rental
