Hey JR!  I'm in Russellville and own a few properties around here and Ft Smith.  Congrats on taking the leap!  If you need any further information, feel free to shoot a DM!

Cancel the deal and put it back on the market offering a credit for sewage line replacement.  If your current deal is $45k below asking, then it would be great to get a deal that's $20k under asking while also offering a $10k credit, right? 48 DOM is pretty good.  This solution also addresses your disclosure dilemma.

Pandering during an election year. The federal government has pretty limited control over such things outside of housing that falls under federal programs (HUD, etc...). The states hold that power.

100% this!  I've always hated hearing people justify their experience with door count.  Owning 100 doors is great, but is your cash flow $5/door or $500?  Are your 100 doors falling apart or are you getting ridiculously good appreciation?

Real estate agents are limited in what they can do when it comes to calculating BRRRR returns or other calculations. The reason is because no 2 investors run their numbers the same way. I'm glad to lend my market experience to an investor for their assumptions, but I won't run numbers for them. If I tell them they can get a 10% return on a property and then they only get 9%, I'm open to liability.

There are always negative posts on here about agents not being helpful to investors.  While it's true there are many bad ones out there, for the most part investors are expecting agents to do things that violate their license.  A true analysis requires me to make assumptions on your tax situation, property management, and construction costs.  I'm not licensed in any of those areas.

It may not increase the value (much), but it will make the home marketable to many more home buyers.  Secondary loan programs require a permanently installed, thermostatically controlled heating source.  A mini-split will meet that requirement (as long as it's sized appropriately) whereas a window unit will not.

 In addition to the two I mentioned above, there is also:

River Valley Navigators - Van Buren 

Real Estate Roundtable - Russellville (my group)

ARKREIA - Conway/Little Rock
