I finally got an attorney to work without a retainer2.

Quote from @Jimmy Wellman: I've looked online for some information about the average % of the final home price vs. the price you purchase the home for and found that the home should be purchased for 70% of your home's final sale price. 

@Jonathan Greene, can you tell me one of the more notable times this happened and how it finally resolved?

Finally- you can eliminate 95% of the troubles and risk by simply having professional and legal screening and management processes, so don't sleep on that piece. 

To be safe, consider starting with standard percentages or slightly reduced figures until you have reliable data on the property’s performance.

-Initial basement costs were projected at $60K, final costs were $125K.

I dont know the area, or the county for that matter, whatsoever.I did some preliminary due diligence on Clinton, including 5-year population trends, demographics, rental rates published, and some other region-specific data. 

In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing?
