Currently has oil heat with an undersized old oil burner.

Oil was at a record low and our coal mines are drying out. those are the life blood of the area.

We paid a pretty premium price to a contractor company for the bathroom because we were installing a washer dryer, they promised us a bunch, sub contracted, missed schedules, mismanaged the project, went over budget, and 2 months over time line.That said 3 months should be enough if its well oiled, but I would definitely plan for the worst, and hope for the best :)

Your first flip is not a small deal.Did you know that on my first flip there was a 70 year old burried oil tank?

I work in an oil field away from home for the next 5 weeks, so all i have is the interweb to look.

I'd suggest hiring a professional or really digging into this yourself.My background: over 8 years in environmental consulting (13-present), 6-7 yrs doing floodplain development permitting across the country for telecommunications, commercial real estate, and oil & gas.

If anything is hidden (a lien, an oil tank, etc) or the numbers are way off (rehab or ARV), I cancel a wholesaler forever and never look back.

Is it one-off sales (not good) or do you have a large number of repeat buyers (better).For example, think of a heating oil dealer. 

Once you remove the existing flooring if there’s pet smells ask here on the forum but I believe you want something like oil based Kilz paint to paint the sub floor with to encapsulate the smells.

Seems like they'd have no incentive to keep it up on maintenance or care if it hits rocks or stumps, has oil, etc...
