Most places are in cahoots for I think three days a year, if you move there and want to move somewhere else in town almost no one will rent to you because it's is theyre clean up day or something.

And, if he has spent most of the money, the assets are depleted and you are further out of luck. 

Since I started this thread, this is what I have found out...He owns both properties outright, no liensBack taxes total $12,000Loan to Value ratio is about 30%Both properties compared to others on the street are valued around 180k eachThe main cost is Plumbing, sheetrock and insulationA recent divorce was the cause for the depletion of cash. taxes assessed have been amended since the first property in the midst of a flip.

Its about finding the deals ok no big news there ,what that usually means you have to buy a house that needs lots of work .You need to get that work done right and cheap .That may mean you need to paint, clean up, easy stuff or if you have skills in the field apply them .Location is always been huge still is don't see this changing .For me I then rent it out after doing my due diligence . 

They came to agreement that he would pay one months rent to the tenant, and the LL would pay any clean up expenses, etc. once the tenant left.  

I head inside, put a sign in the window and call my handyman for cleanup, carpet cleaning and the locks to be changed.

A couple of clean up ideas.  

The property needed a major clean up. 

It truly might be the market is becoming depleted and there maybe to many investors.

I have to bring in bigger companies to clean up behind them for much higher rates.Help!
