A friend of mine was doing a similar project in West Virginia with a guy who apparently had no heirs, or none he liked.  

My jaw dropped , but I didnt take it , they had no 3/4 ton trucks there unless I wanted a Limited diesel for $96K 

@Frank Rolfe I used MHP insurance for a park I own in Hattiesburg, and had no issues getting insured.

They NEVER reverted the water bill to the owner on this house even though section 8 tenant had not paid a water bill since 2015 (found out obviously after) & they had not placed a lien on the property when it transferred end of last year & cleared title so we had no idea.

I tried a 1900 mailing list and had no luck.Any info would be greatly appreciated!

My mother said I had no business buying a house, I have no idea what it takes to own a house.

Kobold felt he had no choice but to pay it.

That brings your total estimated cost to $295,000. them you want to sell the property for $345,000 and your real estate commissions at 6%, closing costs, inspections and fees bring your total costs to about  $295,000 + $20,700 = $315,700 leaving you with a stinky profit of about $30,000 when hoping that your $60,000 estimate had no unexpected problems.There is no way an investor should risk spending $215,000 to earn $30,000, or 14% on your money and then you need to give 20% to 25% of that to Uncle Sam leaving you with only $24,000 or only 11% profit.You have no choice other than to sell it for as much as you can.

We currently rent.What really drew me into real estate and BP is learning about out-of-state investing - I had no idea this was so common!
