I would agree with Nicole. Contact the owner directly. He/she may still refer you to his/her realtor, but at least the seller will have your info. The realtor will definitely downplay any benefits to owner financing. Make sure you stay in front of that seller.

That's a fairly decent number for that size of a property in St Louis. You may have to be creative or more open-minded when sourcing some materials. Get multiple quotes on everything. And don't pay upfront.

When flipping a house, using granite, marble, or quartz is a must. They bring value as well as help sell a house faster.

@Costin I. excellent answer regarding all of the extra factors to account for involving foundation repair. There is so much more involved than just repairing the foundation.

I would agree with the above. Start local and get good at that before doing remotely. Develop systems and a routine with your local fix and flips, get good at judging areas and ARVs, then explore other areas.

If there is only one bathroom, I suggest keeping a tub. People with kids need a tub, and having only a shower will limit your potential buyer pool. If it is an area that is mostly adults without children then it might not be such a big deal.

Your GC should be insured, licensed if required by the state. Not all states require or even offer a license for GCs though. The electrician, plumber, and HVAC should all be licensed. Roofer and foundation as well when applicable. Just depends upon your state.
