Would certainly recommend visiting if one is close to you. 

it’s a closed system and  no clue what’s happening behind the scenes.they have unpaid tax bills on their properties and they have taken loans on top to pay those bills because the property revenues can’t cover those bills for example this one https://www.lofty.ai/property_deal/4318-Clybourne-Ave_Clevel...

Authorities usually notify residents if it is close by and if they are dusting the prairie dog holes.

I have a decent understanding of it all and some sample documents but would greatly appreciate some guidance with closing this deal. 

If they are the same then you have lower probability that other lease terms have changed.

Quote from @Kelly Farmer: My experience:Bought: March 2021, $64,900Sold: April 2024, $48,500 - $5,000 (agent fees/closing fees/etc) = $43,500Rental income (rents - expenses): $5,600Average annual returns: 2.9% (approximate)Net loss at sale: $15,800Positives:1.

My other options would be to Airbnb it (property close to Morgan State, JHH, and more) or rent it out to a regular or student tenant.

Would we be able to pocket the buyer commission to remedy the final sales price or closing costs?

Otherwise, you can re-stain them with a close enough color to minimize the amount of rework.
