I'm set to close on this REO on in 2 weeks & need an budget friendly solution to fix the sagging, cracked concrete front porch!

SOLUTIONS!

Without more info, I'd prefer to install one new high efficiency unit and either figure out a RUBS solution or just set the rent accordingly to include heat.

There has to be a way for struggling owners to get out of a bad situation that investors give a solution to.

Scott Holmes I've only seen AirBNB be the best profitable solution when your hacking your house.

@Bryan MitchellNo problem, I travel overseas for work and there is no internet on those long flights, so I had to come up with the solution.

@Jeannie G — I have to respectfully disagree.The property you purchased through the owner/Provider (Coral Properties) was represented by them as a rental property; however, as you and I both know the HOA restriction never came up at any point from the day we received the listing information to the day you received your closing documentation, and thereafter.In other words, this was not caught by the provider right from the beginning, and was not disclosed to anyone by the title company before you closed, and was not caught by your review of the closing documents (specifically the CC&Rs).This certainly was an anomaly and one that only has come up once over the years.It is and was our intention to help work through this with the original seller (Coral Properties) and formulate a solution for you...As you will recall from our communications back on August 20th, we helped come up with a few options for this property and we negotiated with Coral Properties to list and sell the property at no cost to you.

Their "solution" is to write a phony affidavit stating the qualifying foreclosure notices exist and that they had seen them and have that document notarized.

Reach out to your lender and see what kind of solutions they may have available so you can keep your home safe.

Emphasis that profit when they implement there property solutions.
