Well after waiting 45 days to close to a disabled Vet, after the appraisal, and inspections, he backed out due to health concerns so I relisted on Zillow and put for sale by owner sign in front yard.

And when I had to obtain health insurance for my family, state law requires me to also cover my employees.That's why I set up a separate C Corp management company for my rentals.

The better condition the property is in will accelerate the duration. 

They need to return it to the original condition or better. 

Yea there is no need for an eviction  here, I'd be out and call the health department to let the violations roll in and suing for my deposit back. 

It's not that much $$$, but it will give you great insights into the health and condition of your drain lines - if you needed to replace your lines (either under a concrete slab or pier/beam foundation), it will take a good amount of money to get them repaired.

What are the SFR market conditions in Macclenny, FL?

Once you know the owner(s) and condition of the title, whether the owner had a will, who Ohio law declares should inherit the property, and what the owner's family tree is, then you can answer  "... who would inherit the house?" 

@Angela ZaitzBeing honest if its what it sounds like, just a small cosmetic issue, that doesn't create any real issues or tripping hazards, then so long as the rest of the home is also in good condition I would leave it as is.

That's not guaranteed, but it is the choice I'd make based on market conditions as I see them.
