As you probably know, radon has to be mitigated by the seller, so it's good to pay the $50 as the system could end up costing you $1900 later.

If you remain logged out, the system thinks you're a 'visitor' and prompts you with those questions. 

Develop a system to find motivated sellers who agree to terms with no money down.

Then read up on Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices Act with the same thought in mind.When you are done with that, consider you lack a Compliance Management System so the IRS, the FTC, FinCEN, and OFAC might also want to visit you in addition to the CFPB.

None of these schemes gets one out from under having a robust Compliance Management System to deal with these federal requirements.

Buyer was ready to offer $810k, but comps only supported $740k... so the seller's accepted our $740k offer over other higher offers because it was well supported by the buyer's agent and they (apparently) felt that everyone else was throwing spaghetti at the wall.Very unique, and I don't think it's part of a wider pattern (so far), but an anecdote for you.Incidentally our Bay Area crew on BP is quite active and helpful, don't hesitate to reach out to anyone.

Needed everything else, had to reframe couple of rooms floor systems and did a lot of exterior yard work such as grading and clearing.South single family: purchase $19k, rehab $37k (projected) we just started work on this but have a conservative budget.

Finished my first real estate investment class, ready to get out there, looking for a mentor and learn from the best, while becoming a support system in this industry.

So for example, if all 4 of the HVAC systems in this 4 plex are 10 years old, and the typical lifespan of a HVAC system is 20 years, then you can assume that you'll likely have to replace those HVAC systems over the next 10 years.

@Eric Bilderback I Don't know any 'rules of thumb' for this situation, but I would be most concerned about when the electrical and plumbing were redone, check the foundation, hvac systems and roof.
