I even gave him half of the rehad money for repairs $1,500.I called him numerous times and he doesn't call back once he did to tell me he is on vacation and the work will be done in one week, but it wasn't.

It needs very minor repairs, the landscaping needs cleaning up.

Nothing really prevents you from going back and asking for minor repairs after the home inspection FIPO, but it makes the seller feel like you won't and you still get a professional to tell you if there are any major issues with the house.

We handle collections, evictions, repair requests, marketing, leasing and much more for each property internally.

I had a Realtor out of TN tell me about a loan program where you buy the house in any condition as long as you have a bid from a contractor to repair/improve.

Here's a general formula that I've seen in several places that I intend to follow:Maximum Offer Price=(20% Profit)-(10% contingency)-Repair CostsExample: Repair Costs=5k...I would offer no more than 65k on a 100k fmv home

Lastly (and I apologize for the lengthy post yet again, just trying to be as thorough as possible), would you recommend just cleaning up the place and doing minor repairs and updates, or going all out considering the prices of the other homes up for sell in the area.

I've since installed two new roofs on the two duplexes, repaired the ceilings and painted.I put th property up for sale, received and accepted an offer, however the inspection indicated staning in the attic area.

I don't want to criticize anyone's hometown but your best option may be to get out of Williamsport. 30% ownership rate sounds like it may be 1/2 the national average, which implies (at least to me) that the economic conditions may not be great there.My best bet is to accumulate some cash, even if you get the ppty with little or no out of pocket (which is not as likely or easy in real life as shown on late nite informercials), it still takes cash to repair and operate ppty.Good luckall cash

I'm going to sheriffs sale and there are about 30 homes most won't make it to the sale so i don't want to waste my time on homes that would sell after repairs for only $40,000.
