The only reason this came to light was I was looking to buy a different primary home and it got me looking at this! 

Signing a loan isn't something to take lightly.

I was a kid at the time.1983:  1 of the cottages got hit by lighting and burned down. 

I’m thankful we’re having a light snow winter with relatively mild temperatures because he’s working on renovating 6 units simultaneously for me!

Currently under contract for a large off-market residential property.Quick details: 4,200+ sqft 12bed / 5bath (2 kitchens) (No a flood zone)(Light - Medium rehab / rent-by-the-room play)My partner has been a PM in this community for 20+ years and is highly confident in this deal (as am I).The current issue is, we aren't confident the property can close with a bank due to a few seller complications.( ^Very long story, but if you want to hear it I will tell you haha)We're looking to over-raise about $335k ($255k purchase and $80k for the rehab).But we (and our contractors) know the rehab portion will come in a bit lower.Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Is anyone using a self service kiosk that can shed some light on how its working out? 

If not, I'd tread extremely lightly. 

Some things we are considering include:- built in benches in shower areas- handheld shower heads- intercoms for each bed/bath- motion sensor hallway lights...etcThanks!

That is putting it lightly, though.
