A cleaning may help.

The owners might still be living in the property as holdover tenants, the property might be vacant but have valuable property the owners are using for storage and eviction has to happen, or the house is totally vacant and needs to be trashed out and cleaned and winterized depending on time of the year and climate.During this time the bank or asset company is having the broker that is to be assigned the listing complete a free BPO and then they also order 1 to 2 other bpo's that pay other brokers directly to do for an objective third party evaluation.

Offer them some $ to clean the house and allow the showings.

If it appears lazy or is more yellow in color, clean orifice where gas comes out.

You might reach out to Mark Yuschak I know he's active up there and might be able to lend some assistance.

Our cleaning service comes every Tuesday, so I make sure the house is picked up so they can do a deep cleaning.

The seller on all of the properties....Some city Commission (forget the exact name) I looked it up; the guidelines were all OO and down payment assistance for people that couldn't normally qualify for a mortgage.Anyway point is it's prob 25K because your taxes might have helped pay for it to be built and sold at that price.

From what I understand, todays products provide a chemical bond so prep is limited to a thorough cleaning.

Once all areas where mold is typically found are demo'd and cleaned up, I would demo the remaining flooring and open all the walls.

Thank You for the assistance I guess I was just not picking up on the "passive" part of the previous posts.
