huge on property investments for rentals/rehabs and all. it's still a lot of good things going on. they're cleaning up big time even in the distressed areas the dusty big bad wolf houses are being blown down, so in another 2/5 years a lot of properties values are going to go up, and a lot of people are coming back with that tax abatement, paying no taxes on the homes for 15 years is motivation.

While appraisers shouldn’t take too much into account about how clean and pleasant the tenant is, as noted above, everyone is human and such impressions can make a difference.

The house just needs carpets cleaned and a little paint, easily under $1k of work.

I've read a lot and listened to a lot of BP podcasts, but not sure what financing methods might work here (if any) or if FHA is the best option.

if the driveway isnt TOAST.. maybe a good cleaning and some repairs?  

I listen to the podcast just about every day and I wanted to see if you guys could recommend some books on the different types of lending methods out there.

The only security deposit deductions should come from move out damage.By this method your property is always in tip top condition and turn over costs are reduced to your normal wear and tear items.

You can try but success is unlikely.In only two months the clean up should only require a little bleach not a clean up company.

Hi BP community! I'm looking for some advice on my current security deposit situation.My former (very disagreeable and difficult) tenant moved out and I mailed his security deposit settlement to him at his new address...
