I plan to flip the entire building and am seeking a skilled contractor to provide estimates for the rehab costs and to fix the structural issues.

I believe it's because the property is being sold "as-is," and they are unwilling to make repairs or negotiate based on findings.

With $1100 in cashflow, a skilled investor who understands the section 8 program can kill the game.

If you're unwilling to charge a common fee, I wonder how you're going to handle a problematic tenant who is late on rent or responsible for paying the plumber to remove a kid's underwear from a clogged toilet.How will you conduct a credit/criminal screening without an electronic application?

Tenants were unwilling to pay the higher rent for units which included heat and hot water. 

Keep in mind most travelers are unwilling to spend more than $2400 with most around the $1600-1800 range.What I have found is that travel nurses often want to spend at little as possible so they can pocket the stipend. 

If you are unable or unwilling to do so we may elect to terminate the lease and request a return of our deposit--which we offered in a good faith agreement that we would be presented with a habitable dwelling--and our prorated rent.

As such, I do have a lot of handy skills and would not be opposed to a live in flip, whatsoever.I would love to connect with other Savannah locals to potentially run properties by, and other experienced investors who may be able to guide me on whether the places I am interested in are good deals or not.

Add that to the $1.2M and we get a total ask of $4.7M.The $400,000 in earnings could not support that debt service and he was unwilling to lease the real estate to the new buyer. 

They're basically two different skill sets and it's fallacious thinking to assume you can do one because you can do the other.
