Unless she punched holes in the wall, and leaves a bunch of trash and junk in a messy house, it would be hard to argue that the dirty walls, worn fixtures, filthy carpet is her problem. 

please feel free to add anything that you have on hand.im a soon to be investor and would like some tips on this as iwould like to get started on my research and ask the community on here for help on this. thanks in advance 🙏🏽

@Luke Councell@Joe Norman provided some good tips.

With that said, below are some tips on how to find a local CPA.1) Attend a Local REIA / Real Estate meetup and see who other investors are using as a CPA2) Network with other investors from your City/State that you find on bigger pockets and see who they use as a CPA3) Look for CPA's with good google/yelp reviews where 'real estate' is mentioned in the review.

  $125,000 - $40,000 = $85,000 less realtor fees to sell it, and will a lender finance it in it's present condition.Also, those pier and beams go out of wack all the time and maybe just adjusting them will fix it.Some of the older homes are jacked up with all kinds of automobile junk yard scissor jacks and Auto Zone bottle jacks, piles of rocks, stacks of 2 x 4's on grade, wooden shingles, tar shingles, etc... vs proper peirs.So maybe one of the renters (or one of their friends) crawled under there and removed the jacks to use on their car repair or sell at the pawn shop for beer money and now the floor bounces.Meaning get a 2nd opinion from a pier company (that's legit, has an office and a website, etc...) and have them confirm the ROT--if any.Because the floors do rot (sometimes) and also the piers go out of wack and sometimes also sometimes disappear into thin air--and no one knows what happened to them.Getting a 2nd opinion on if there is rot--with cell phone pics of it--would be smart--if none then adjust/replace the jacks.Good Luck!

I watch Matt Risinger for the over-the-top stuff mostly, but this is actually practical for anyone, with lots of helpful comment tips!
