We got the inspection back today; the issues are as follows: mold beyond the surface mold we originally noticed when checking the house out, wood rot in left side floor, damaged roof joist, poor ventilation in the attic and mold, many of the chimney bricks are loose, standing water in crawlspace--potential mold, leaking shower and toilet leading to damaged floor/ceiling underneath, plumbing material issues, electrical not all properly grounded. 

If I refinance the siding and windows into the house I dont think the house will be positive cash flow anymore.

As soon as they moved someone in without your authorization, you should have served them with a notice.

Positive cash flow What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

How much notice? 

I just got a position with a management company and we handle 2200 units in Tennessee.

This could be a very dumb question with a very simple answer, but if someone could clarify for me.I've been going through numerous Notices of Tax Deed Applications to reach out to former owners of those properties.On some of the notices, next to a name it will say "EST" followed by "%" and another name.ex)Legal Title Holders:Michael Jordan EST% Dwayne WadeMy question is, what does the "EST" represent, and who is the legal former title holder?

Hello everyone,I have been put in a rather unique position and would love to pick the brains of some seasoned veterans here.

I am quickly realizing it's difficult to find 1) properties which meet the 1% test, and 2) properties which cash flow positive from year 1 (unless we increase our down payment from 3.5% to something much higher).I would like to get two pieces of advice from the Bigger Pockets community in Massachusetts.

I would give them written notice of termination in accordance with your state law.
