No matter what else Peoria offers, it would not score close to #1 with me based on the summer heat.

You're convincing yourself it's okay, when you know it's not.Your seller is motivated BECAUSE he knows its a SH** SHOW.You know that it doesn't matter if any of the floors are slanted, if any doors stick, or if there are any visible cracks.So your seller has a quote for $8500 was it?

That is why I am on here asking if there is anyone with local knowledge of the matter because there's nothing left for me to lookup or call unless someone with local insider knowledge can point me in the right direction

I have since found out that other tenants on the park pay for their own monthly maintenance sprayings and have been doing this as a matter of choice since they moved in to make sure they don't get any issues in the first place.I also have 3 SFH and 2 of those tenants (also inherited) have their properties sprayed on a monthly preventative basis.I would be interested to hear how other landlords treat this issue and who's responsibility do you believe it falls upon.
