I upgrade to 200 amp, insulate, replace dated light and plumbing fixtures, replace the roof if necessary (or budget to replace it if it has a few more years on it--I just don't wait until it starts leaking), fix any drainage issues, replace windows (maybe 75% of the time), make sure doors/hardware work properly (I install hinge-stops and/or those round plastic bumpers that affix to the wall so I never have wall/door damage), limb up or remove trees, and of course give it a thorough cosmetic upgrade so it attracts good tenants.

I stopped registering my properties in that city to save my tenants the grief.Like most government progams, the inspection process becomes a revenue generator and is often abused.

Nothing ventured nothing gained.  

So we just said "F it" and stopped paying them. 

Last year I diversified some of the funds out of real estate now that it has become overvalued.I found BP through a Google search of an under performing company I got involved with called Asset Ventures who does their best to modify delinquent second mortgages.  

Good luck in your RE investing ventures!  

As a wholesaler, why dont you offer a property to an experienced flipper as part of a joint venture.

The property have become a liability/burden for them and as a result they stopped paying property tax and willing to let the City/County "take it away" from them.  

Angel,Real estate investing can be a very rewarding and profitable venture.

The listings have stopped most of the low ball offers I used to get from the rehabbers and wholesalers on my "buyers list".
