You keep that stuff dead dry indoors in above grade, climate controlled storage or you're screwed in western PA.We do almost always have a rehab going that houses most of the tools and equipment, especially the larger ones that aren't in job boxes or the bins I mentioned.

I had single family homes, some condos, and a few small commercial properties when the lending dried up and the consequences of that hit hard.

If somebody has no skin in the game, it's easy for them to continue their search then leave you hanging at the last minute.Our checks are handled within our PM software so unfortunately, I have no familiarity with Zillow's service.

I have a couple who started to build a home on a property, but midway they fell into financial issues i was told and the house went unfinished on the property sitting for multiple years in a "dried in" stage.

Well I know they eat dry cat food.

Uusually once the proverbial ink is dry on the P&S they get sent over. 

Most HML want 6 months of reserves, and skin in the game such as downpayment closings costs. 10k is usually not enough especially if you are looking at your local market.

The words 'dry rot' were mentioned but I didn't see any when I gave it a walk around.

We put some money (about 10k) into the renovation of the house and replaced all of the carpet with wood-faced tile as well as replaced the cabinets and countertops in the kitchen, both bathrooms, and added a small dry bar area.
