I'm very happy to do a lead inspection but in summer not now in winter.Btw: There appear to be two lead certs in NH1) Insurance Safe Cert triplex cost estimate about $850 (a 2BR owner occupied + 1BR rented + 1 BR rented)2) Lead Safe Cert.

One can choose to comply with the Safe Harbor Regulation D, 505, 505, or 506.

I had been thinking for the last year plus that this house was the one on my block that met the perfect "driving for dollars" criteria- yard never kept up, weeds growing from gutters, chipping paint, etc.  

They should not be venturing into this territory since they do not have the skill set to safely do the job. 

With all that being said, I am considering Virtual wholesaling, I'm under the impression that it wouldn't be viable seeing how I couldn't drive for dollars and would have to pay to find all leads as well as  finding boots on the ground.

It takes less than 2 weeks to find a qualified tenant and process them through a rigorous tenant screening process.Even in situations where there will be some re-painting and some renovations, the tenants are just happy to find a secure, good apt in a safe and trendy neighborhood.When I build my Business Plans, Vacancy cost is projected to be ZERO in my investment localities.If a friend or relative invests in a different location, then I look at the asking rent versus the Fair Market Rent (FMR).If the asking Rent is approximately the same as the FMR, then, depending on the vacancy rate of the target area, I would estimate 1 month vacancy allowance.IF the asking Rent is significantly below the FMR in a highly dense locality, then there is no point on adding a vacancy of any significant value.I once had an apt with a FMR of $3k per month.

Buying a property at auction without an inspection is about as far from safe and convenient as it gets.

Make sure it’s safe, maybe it’s a small deal and no big?

My tenants are nurses, social workers, very stable jobs, driving high end cars but not too often they want to buy.

However you're also just a short drive to the Villages to visit your parents.
