The following are a list of thing that are mandatory:- A/C units (will need to purchase two since this is a two story house in FL)-Kitchen (old kitchen cabinets have had had major water damage, counters are broken and will need new appliances.)

I have to pay water on my 4-plex's since that's what the market demands.Hope this helps.  

Anyone have any good experiences with any companies or private installers?Thanks in advance for your help.

If the inventory is low and its a hot area , a for sale by owner sign in the front yard and a high price will test the waters .

We are told that a property is abandoned technically when the power is off, water is off and there is nothing of "Perceived Value"  in the home.

The ex-wife has talked with the bank about doing a deed in lieu when the time comes, but i don't think that is allowed with deed in lieus because i think that only works as your primary residence as far as I understand and even if it did i think the amount would be taxed as income so she'd have an unexpected tax bill.The house is under water.  

I'll continue to cold call parks and ask if their interesting in selling but I'm trying to cover all options.

I work full time outside of real estate, so for now I am just dipping my toes in to test out the waters.

I think there's that list that people get on in an attempt to halt cold callers but I can't imagine returning a call is the same thing.

This varies by state, purchase price and the individual wholesaler.The fact that it's listed can muddy up the waters some, but if it's a good deal then people will get creative.Good luck!
