, Then i will need to pay for a reinspection, and do all these changes before I can even SELL MY HOUSE> so instead of a negotiation of what I will or won't do in my sales contract, or possibly lower the price for the buyer to do things, I'm gonna probably HAVE to do all these things BEFORE I can even sell my houseCan you tell I want to SCREAM!

However, to me it is screaming ADA non compliant lawsuit. 

But I can't help but feel like these old early 1900s homes just seem to scream out for real hardwood which is of course very expensive?   

You might find screaming deals here and there, but if the whore area is falling apart it can be a bad deal in the end, even if the numbers look fantastic on paper!

Thank you to @Nathan Gesner for the warm welcome I will do more research and start asking for more than just a general scream for help.

Don't do anything crazy like offering the entire year up front in cash or something similar, because that screams shady........  

May be a quick way to save $3k :)Either way ~ its a screaming deal IMO!

Linda, your verbiage made my head spin and I realize how bloody complicated this whole thing is.

I probably wont purchase another duplex unless I purchase a parcel of land, plat it and build them out myself or find a screaming off market deal on a higher end property.  

@Chad Gibson There is nothing wrong with the second approach but it screams newbie wholesaler that probably doesn't have any deals yet.It will take time to find you first genuinely good deal so while looking build your list.
