@Alex Deacon I was going to use my realtor/broker/lawyer to ensure that my bases were covered. I used 5k as a liberal number for inspections. The last time I did four, and it cost me about 450 each. Maybe I need a different inspector.
1. Great idea, did not think about it. I will definitely use my lawyer to ensure that is the case.
2. Liberal numbers for repairs and vacancy is a must. I already rent in the area so I am familiar with the vacancy rates.
3. Liberal numbers are key. I set my bar 200 below zillow and rentometer, I do not know what other sites to use to check rent rates.
I submitted my proposal back to the seller to get about 400 per house, I eventually want to settle out at 300 per house and I think I will pull the trigger if the inspections come back ok. If the inspections come back as lots of structural and moisture damage I will raise my bid to 500 after (PITI/PM) per house or back out.
Thank you for the inputs!!!!!
