I provide you a property that is safe clean and functional.  

If they do not have any direction and goals then they surely are not going to be helpful getting you maximum results with yours.Regular residential agents you cannot blame them for wanting to work with regular buyers and sellers.

Thank you @Al Williamson for your comment.It is interesting to find a pest control service is a line item for a regular maintenance on most of the people?

A better time to buy it might be at the foreclosure sale, then it will be a clean purchase and you're free to rent it to her or anyone.

Cameron, there is a shortage of deals in MA, and the MLS is almost certainly picked clean.  

Much of the house has been repainted and the carpet has been cleaned twice with a deodorizer put down each time.  

There aren't many updates that need to be done to make it tenant ready; a couple door replacements, small bathroom fixes, and cleaning out tell unfinished basement which the owner started to make into other apartment but ran out of money.

I want the slate clean and maybe I can learn something I didn't know before.I want a cash flow first.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone and hopefully becoming a regular face here.

I think there is a Triad RE Investors association that meets regularly.
