@Tom Parris thankoops - typo from my phone

   - repair is typical for an rental occupied property.My view is:  typical for turnkey properties, low performance, defered maintenance that yoiu'll get hit with typically sooner then later. 

Hello All,I have been looking at acquiring another property and I have estimates on repairs that need to be done.

@Mike McCarthy the home breaks even but it's fairly new at least so at least I don't have to cough up too much money for repairs.

They just see dad on the phone a lot.

Any signs of previous problems being covered up, or band-aid repairs?

Suggest you go the electric route--less or  no maintenance costs, and when repair is needed, inexpensive compared to most gas fired boilers or furnaces.I would also have a small natural gas wall space heater installed somewhere on the main living floor (not in bedrooms) just in case of power outage and / or for supplemental heating.  

Having never done this before, I have a lot of questions;- How to approach the lender- How to value the note- How long a foreclosure in Ohio will take- EtcAnyone out there willing to have a phone conversation or two to help me up the learning curve?

They'll collect your email and phone number and send you deals directly.If you want to take a direct approach to getting deals on your own, you could get in direct contact with homeowners who are interested in selling their home but haven't listed the house for sale yet.

The adjuster says over the phone that they do not think the tank sweep company should be responsible for any removal costs which could go into 5 figures.
