I feel that the house needs to be fixed up in order to attract the best buyer attention.

I was attracted to the "owner occupied" aspect of property.

@Stephen Sokolow,Seller financing makes it more attractive, but this doesn't sound like a good deal. 

This is just a cost of doing business -- and hopefully a minor one at that.If a lender believes so many loans are falling through that they must enact punitive restrictions in their loan process, like charging up-front fees before closing, I’d suggest they tighten their marketing up to attract more suitable prospects.

The property class descriptions often include age of the property as a major factor in determining property class, can you help me understand how much this weights when applying to urban areas or small east coast towns.For example, I live in the Fingerlakes, in a small town lakefront town that attracts many tourists.   

We also will likely add to our Leases a fine for having pets on the property when none were approved, in addition to posting a notice.The only way people typically learn is by hitting them in their wallet.

The area will determine the type of tenants you will attract.

I don't see much risk in a busy street except I might not attract a family with young children to live there. 

(Told you, wholesaling SIMPLY IS the most attractive option for sellers, if you are transparent about it).
