I hope you "pay" or at least buy a meal gift card for the contractor...they will remember that you valued their time and will be more likely to help you with a walkthrough again on the next project.Don't know how much DD money you put down (and it's gone now), but it's probably a small price to pay to avoid buying a money pit.Best to you!

But it seems another option is they can gift the townhouse to us.

But if you create a market lease, charge and report income and then gift back rent using appropriate annual limits you'll be fine on that side.It looks like you'll be adding significant leverage so you're probably fine on the reinvestment side.
