Can I pass this deal to a more experienced investor and make some finders fee commission ?

The second case was a more serious one.

I hope you got into a better place with a more caring landlord.It boils down to the fact that you chose to leave your mess for someone else to clean up.

The condo is a more upscale property than the house and I have never had a tenant abuse the appliances (well I did have one bachelor who never ran the garbage disposal and it rusted shut, but he paid for a new one).

It is so much better having this freedom - hope you find a more satisfying job also!

Banks might ask for property inspection reports - this has the same problem as before.Try to find these before the foreclosure auction, so that you can get a more normal buying process, with appraisal, title search, inspections, etc.

They actually have a more forceful jet of water coming out too, which can take a little adjusting to get used to.I wouldn't compare them to low-flush toilets, because the low-flush toilet does not have sufficient flow to remove the solids in stool; the shower is only rinsing soap - how much flow do you need for that?

Since no one else in the heirs right now cares to start the process, a good candidate would be your wife to be named executrix since it's a more "direct" family member.

I understand that the property is selling for such a reduced rate due to the areas poor soil drainage (I live in an area that is predominately clay) and the expense associated with installing a more expensive and engineered septic system.

If I'm going to be looking at properties in low-rent areas I feel I need a more detailed handle on expenses than the 50% rule gives me.
