You dug deep into foreclosure website. 

I ended up hiring cleaning contractors and looking to hire handy man to fix few things, that will cost more than damage deposits ($1100) before to make this house ready for new tenants.After I told everything to seller he is not gonna sign the paper to release escrowed amount to me.

I give the option of paying an early termination fee a d walking away clean, or she remains responsible for rent and utilities until a qualified replacement tenant takes over.100 years ago, people would lose multiple children, spouses, parents, it other relatives, yet they still lived in the same home for decades.

I also have the benefit of a deep team so that certainly helps.

For example, does that include cleaning fees?

I don’t own vacation properties but I would think you’d have a lot in hiring somebody to clean and flip the property in between each vacationer.Either way the answer is in the numbers.

I currently have not made my first deal yet, but I have an investor that has deep pockets.

Unit 2 - 3/2 with older disabled lady, 20 something daughter lives with her. small lap dog as well. shes paying 889 a month. resident for 12 years. pays on time. nice and unit is well kept and clean. daughter and dog not on lease. month to month lease. fixed income. uses a walker. mentally sharp. havent seen credit or BG yet.Rental Comps are 1200 to 1400 a month. both units are well under market rents.

Are the cracks minor surface cracks or are they wide and deep? 

I find it useful to have a couple people that will remove old flooring (carpet, vinyl, etc), clean out crawl spaces, repair insulation, lay down vapor barrier, haul off junk, remove fencing, paint decks, low skill landscaping, etc.The best method I've found is posting free stuff (used appliances, old fencing, and other stuff) on CL, then identifying the good character workers to do other work for $15 hour.
