It was a borderline tear down, but the bones seemed good. 

You don't know what's behind a wall until you tear it down.

It may be a tear down for all you know.

Blood, sweat, and tears?

I would argue that the clock for adverse possession has started ticking for your tenants, if anyone at all, and not you.some of this law can be pretty complicated.. we are doing one right now were we know the person is passed the known heir has the let the properties go to pot .. and we are petitioning to have our attorney to take over control of the assets then sell them off.. now no one can steal the assets but they can be sold for fair market value and since these are tear downs and really rough stuff there can be some favorable pricing. 

I had one in your neck of the woods I rarely will engage a wholesaler as I get bombarded by them to be on their buyers lists. but this particular one in Charleston SC.. had a property in the area I am building new homes.. so that one I would go for.we agreed on 200k its was a tear down.. so 215k for the lot.. basically.and since most wholesalers never know the state of title I have my person ( a local broker check quickly) they come up with an option to buy it for 100k..

Lots of people look at the profits and don't see the blood, sweat, and tears that go into it. 

Even a kind dog that is bored, will tear walls apart.

How about the blood, sweat, and tears that the hustle it took to find and execute this sweetheart of a deal took? 

Got renovated and then been told to tear it down or open her up for inspections.I'd pass without inspections.
