[quote=ltsdd]So how are these houses compared to the ones being sold by the so-called “scumbag SS”? How much rehab and how long do you think it’s going to take FOR YOU to get the house ready to rent it out? I hope it doesn’t take “a truck” and nowhere near “a year-plus” to get the place ready. I hope you do own a truck and a lot more handy than me because it took me a whopping two weekends and another $400 for a contractor to finish the garage and have got tenants moved in in less than 3 weeks. Oh, and here’s the kicker, I don’t own a effing truck. Damn, those SS!…[/quote]
Off the top of my head:
1. Straightforward transaction;
2. 10-20 day closing, depending upon buyer contingencies or lack thereof;
3. actual SELLER accepts offer, NOT FB who has no authority to do anything but use the mens/ladies room by themselves;
4. title not FU’d by liens and jr lienholders coming out of the woodwork with their hands outstretched;
5. title actually free and clear … rather novel in this county and era, don’t you think?;
6. 30-60 day cleaning/rehab period to ready for tenants;
7. handy … willing to do manual labor and get dirty … no problem;
8. and, access to multiple types of power tools, large pickup, even flatbed … no problem;
It’s all in the willingness to work and having “connections.” :=]
