One lady came in sent me her stats. 

I was referred to a lady in the redevelopment dept in city hall who gave me the owners contact info and a brief history: vacant since 2008, property consists of 12 parcels that were acquired for 300k in 2013.

Also modern electric and plumbing.

I'd bring their rents to market levels and modernize rent collection to be 100% electronic (for me) even if the tenants are still paying cash with deposits at 7/11 or the like.

@James WiseJim ,this lady was living in this mess.. took me two years to do a specific performance case which I won. and well we just demo'd the whole house and I am splitting it into 3 lots and 3 700k EACH new homes will gone on this.Neighbors are happy.. the home you could not see from the road it was completely buried in blackberry vines save a little path to the front door.this is 1 of 5 extreme Hoarder houses I bought this year in Portland... we pay about 150 to 300k per extreme hoarder house . 

The homes where built in 1962 and looks like very little was done to modernize them.I would appreciate any and all help.

You're not buying a house, you're buying a vehicle to make money.Sounds like the lady would be better off selling to someone that's going to live there rather than someone that's going to flip.Unless she's in a bind and needs the money, in which case what you think you are able to afford can solve her need for cash.

The lady that is scamming SSA and Columbus Metro Housing authority was such a nice lady, but it didn't sit well with me to be part of that. 

Here's the scenario.A wholesaler sent me a property that I ultimately decided  to purchase for $12,500Wholesaler fee is $2500 so $15,000 all inDeal fell apart because we learned that that seller owed $25K on a second mortageShe is an older lady and is receiving social security, but no other incomeShe says the bank won't budge - they won't negotiate down the 25K debtProperty is worth around 30-35K, needs minor cosmetic (a few thousand) to be rent readyI've offered to pay 12.5K and have also offered a 5K loan that the seller would pay back to me over time but that only gets us to 17K.Any other ideas from you creative deal structuring experts out there on how to make this a win/win?

To impute a more accurate value to the paintings that never sell or sell less frequently, our methodology uses what we know about how rapidly the paintings that sell have appreciated, and how often they are sold.Our model allows us to look at five different styles of painting, including Post-War and Contemporary, Impressionist and Modern, Old Masters, American, and 19th-Century European.
