wow @Bryan Davis that's some story I will add a qualification to my previous post: dead person in unit = not weirddead person in unit eaten by domestic pets = weird

Bryan, I do not believe you can legally do what you want to do.

Pull that out as Bryan pointed out you can make all cash offers, and at 3.99% your better off investing it then just holding on to it.

Steel piers rust, but it takes a very very very long time. 

HOwever it does boil down to industry and jobs.. you got them you have a nice vibrant community the Mill be it steel lumber textiles closes down and now you have out flow and dead and dying real estate.I mean there is a reason that many of the landlords on this site can buy rentals for under 30k in many many parts of the central US and rust belt.. comes down to supply and demand there is more supply than demand..  

Hello Bryan,That is pretty cool you grew up in Middletown.
