Needs minor work such as flooring, paint and kitchen remodel.

There will always be some blight in a transitioning neighborhood but how long does it take for the trash to be picked up or graffiti to be painted over?

I can see why wholesaling dominates that end of the business.. because these guys can charge 10 to 20% and buyers could give a rip if it meets what they will pay.. but let a real estate agent charge more than 6% and every one screams like a stuck pig..

Although it was his to begin with so I don't understand that.The home is is great shape besides the roof, the slight leak in the A/C, indoor paint, and the kitchen laminate  floors bubbling up due to a fridge leaking but nothing serious. 

Based on verbal condition description of the property I estimated a ball park of $15K for repairs (seller claims it just paint and flooring but you know how that goes).

Going off of what was previously said i seriously think you just got ripped off extremely hard. 1 why did you pay cash for a house and not do financing?

I was in a similar situation, where we bought a house for $5K, turned out to be a POS,  and I just flipped it on CL for $10K.. if I was smarter, I would have done the painting and put in appliances and sold it for $20K! 

One was for needing to be painted. 

Paint that thing. 

In the last couple years over $100,000 has been spent to re side all buildings,there’s brand new parking lots,new windows, new hot water heater’s,new paint and new carpet.
