I am a newbie from central Illinois with a potential flip property.  I would like advice from the more experienced on BP.  What I have is as follows:  A 10,400 sq/ft finished above grade SF home built in 1912.  It was...

The breaker box is all broken and there is no meter.

Kevin,I agree with Dawn that the broken window is not normal wear and tear, but rather negligence on the part of the tenant, however, he/she may have already spoken to a lawyer (contacting tenant rights in Madison is free).  

Make sure nothing is broken or worn when the appraiser comes through.

interesting.they were hired to to replace the roof and boards, but were to notify me if any joists were damaged.they told me joists were all fine, however I was notified by someone on the downlow that wasn't the case as one of the joists was broken and they decided to just cover it up.  

@David Shapiro I do know of a situation (not a rental) where Child Welfare Services was called and got involved because a parent/homeowner did not fix their broken CAC.

He came by on Tuesday afternoon and took a look at the property and said he would give me a written quote with everything broken out, license #'s, etc by Thursday night.Friday comes and nothing.Saturday night comes, nothing.

All the houses have bars on the windows and the mf parking lot has broken down cars.

I understand I'll have to add kitchen, bathroom, split utilities, rezone.Currently rents for 1k as 3/1 SFH if it was broken up could go for $750 & $600Am I hallucinating or is this even something to consider doing...

He loves them , no stopped up toilets , broken furnaces .
