if you are a beginning rehabber, this is a deal i would avoid, (unless you have experiences in other related areas or have researched this extensively or have asked experts i.e. structural engineers for their input), as 1) you don't know the prices your contractors would charge2) the estimated rehab costs are lumped under general categories (i.e. concrete, plumbing, electrical), but do you know which specifically/exactly you need to fix?

I am looking to build a 750 sq. ft. house ( a 2/1 specifically) and I just want to get a rough estimate of the per square foot cost?

How would we get a hold of that specific tax lien-is that even possible? 

Offer 3% less than you would with a buyers agent and make it a specific number with no zeroes. 

Can anyone recommend a strategy or a specifIc lender that can work with older Australians?

It's fun throwing around numbers and percents and formulas but this is how you actually figure out your costs when you have a specific deal your underwriting.

I would add that it's not a problem for banks with agents specifically, but any profession where you have 1099 income as opposed to W2.

@Precious Thompson I’ve never heard that term specifically, but the property is being used for something it’s not allowed/zones to be used for.

I have read lots about a property needing to be 5 units for the banks to view them as a commercial operation, but this is always referring to the States, but I don't know if this applies to Canada, specifically BC.
