It allows water to stand there, but doesn't collect any solids.

Also, banks will require a rehabber to put a lot more of their own cash in typically, so this waters down the ROI.

I would use the MLS notification system.

What are the annual property taxes, who pays the utilities (water is usually handled by the HOA, but not always), and does the HOA have adequate reserves to cover major repairs like roof replacements and street resurfacing?

With the system I use, I can get the calls forwarded to my cell phone, it rings with the number I have so I know it is a client calling and make it priority to pick it up.

I wouldn't pick where to live based on some RE method, learn RE, not some system.

some have told me that I should pour a cup of bleach into two gallons of water and wash the whole place with this mixturesomeone else mentioned a bowl of vinegar placed in the middle of the floor.I have also tried Coffee which did help absorb a lot of the odor but there is still a lingering scent.I am frustrated because I am no expert cleaner. and I cant believe that washing the walls and doors did not solve this issue.

I'm currently dead in the water with another investor/partner.

Make sure you get a deposit from the buyer before going under contract because if you go off of the buyer's word and the buyer backs out of the deal, then you WILL lose your earnest money from HUD, I lost my earnest twice because I couldn't find a buyer.3) No it is not necessary to have the electricity/water/heat/etc on, it's the buyer responsibility to do their own due diligence.
