He made his bed and needs to lie in it).He signed a contract (lease addendum) and now he's trying to not uphold his end of the bargain and you are trying to help him with that.

If the work will be completed when you do the first showing to retailers and they aren't looking at a property under construction then that's should be fine....Kudos,Mary

We do allow tenants to run certain business from our properties - nothing retail or that would generate traffic.

I've seen people do various types of rubber coatings, and even truck bed liner material, but have had the impression that these are temporary measures to buy a year or two before more definitive action is taken.Has anyone found a cheaper but not shoddy way of repairing box gutters?

I did research the county appraiser and tax collector websites and three have structures on the property; house/shack, mobile home and retail store, the other three are vacant land.

Here is the information I look for when presented with a wholesale deal: - Type of closing (assignment, double close, etc) - Address - Price - Estimated ARV and Comps (I won't rely on these, but will indicate if the wholesaler has actually done his job) - Pictures & Condition (Enough information that I know if it's a $15K rehab or a $150K rehab)- Basic Info (Year Built, # Beds/Baths, Square Footage, etc) - Info about access to the property (or how to get it)

I will not be the type of person who has to 'feel for the floor before getting out of bed.'

Presuming the price coves all debts against the property, you get it free and clear.The problem for you is that may be issues that you will only know after spending some money for the title company.Here is a very short and incomplete list of issuesWho is on title and has the right to sellTenant rights if there is a tenantThis property is most appropriate for a retail homeowner, can you find that buyer without closing on it with you own capital?

.$500-1,000 is pretty standard with a bank, and on a retail MLS situation the agent will (rightfully so) try to get that same kind of EMD for their client.If a seller balks at a $10 EMD then you have to decide if the deal is good enough, as in safe enough, that you want to put "real" money on the table.
