I'm running windows 10 with latest flash player, just didn't know if anyone else had experienced this and had a fix? 

If you do that, the advantage of the cheap financing goes out the window.

Units in this development have appreciated 26% since 2015, which is about middle of the pack where condos are concerned.As noted it needs appliances, the only other thing is blinds for all windows since there are no window coverings and I don't want tenants diy installing the absolute cheapest stuff they can find.

With student rentals we are fortunate that the outgoing tenants are frequently "gone" a week or two before the end of their lease.In some situations, it is not possible to complete work during the turn-around window.  

What I also recommend is with a list of what paint,carpet,tile,windows etc. when compiling the list you need to be very detailed including part/spec #.Then try to negotiate those items with your local suppliers.

The house has been vacant for several months but air compresser is still there; there are no bars on windows of houses in the neighborhood, it's just a very quiet residential area without anybody wandering on street....I'd love to buy in a better area of Merillville, but can I get it for a similar price?  

From the visual, it appears to be an REO (field service notice in window) and it appears that maybe a DIY rehab/addition based on the missing outlet at 6' on the far wall?

Typically, the foreclosure can't be started for 6 months per Maryland law, but the lien purchaser typically has about a one-and-a-half year window to start the foreclosure. 

Rent is rent.The option contract provides the holder of the contract the right to purchase the property at either a predefined strike price, or at a strike price determined using a methodology explicitly spelled out in the option agreement, for a defined time (or within a defined window) after the contract is signed, but before it expires. 

We make it very clear to tenants that if they suspect a leak, turn off the appliance, leave the building, leave a door/window open and call the Natural Gas company and notify us.
