When a property is purchased this way, the previous mortgage and any tax liens should be wiped clean, but I still have a bad feeling about this.

I have heard similar horror stories in parts of New York with rent control or it's not section 8 but a tenants or city assistance program where it gets delayed and delayed.How do lenders feel about giving out commercial loans in these areas?

And I can add value by cleaning it up and/or vacating problem tenants.

Some new GE installs have an air gap that can get blocked on & off with debris & that's an easy clean out.GE drain pipes run back from under the middle/front of the dishwasher into the rear of the machine & then it snakes up to exit through the cabinet wall.

It should not take long. 30 -60 minutes day should be adequate or virtual assistant can be hired for this task.

When your house is a mess you can't sell it for what a clean house sells for so your property condition means you have "no equity".

Many times if you are just cleaning a place up the inspectors let existing noncompliant items slide.

And being a Realtor's assistant is the easiest way to get access to the MLS.

Ask for elevator maintenance records and see what they are spending on those per year.Is the maintenance guy in-house or do they subcontract maintenance, take a look at the cleaning contract.

I'm a realtor in Nashville and I specialize in assisting investors.
