Or are you looking to do vacation rentals or military rentals when you leave?  

My main concern is that we will have to take a step back or a pause in investing but want to eventually upgrade housing.  

@mau pan not sure how the laws work in pa but in Georgia you legally own the property the day of the foreclosure auction even though it can take several weeks or even months for the attorney to prepare and record the deed.So I always immediately get insurance, put utilities in my name and if it's vacant, get physical control and change the locks.Regarding the possibility of leaks, I always ask the water company to put service in my name, unlock the meter but leave it turned off at the meter.You can the turn it on yourself with a curb-key or a decent pair of pliers.

If so, you might be able to just leave the property as-is and still get the deal done.Really, it's going to depend how much money your parents were planning on using from the sale of their house.

I’m a little more concerned about the hazard sign on the door.

I was wondering if anyone was directly familiar with these areas and had any helpful information they could share or spare a few minutes to chat with me concerning these areas.Thank you very much!

Rather they are showing a 'proposed financing'.They are NOT guaranteeing that you will find this (LTV, Rate, Term) or any other aspect of a loan (fees, commissions, etc).Leaving the loan aside, I can't help but make a couple of comments regarding the numbers;- Vacancy of just 5% means that if you have 1 move out in a year and it takes you more then 1 month to turn the unit and re-lease it, you have exceeded your vacancy budget.

But if you just go out there trying to get properties on contract for any price with any seller who's looking to sell their house, then yes investors will avoid you like the plague if you don't leave them any room for profit.1.)

I'm worried that I may be running myself out of a good deal if I make these percentages too high but also concerned about being too low and having a major issue arise.
