We have a saying in real estate " Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered "I personally would take that money and move on.

You can buy new burner-pans & even elements on amazon, & all a tenant really wants is *clean* & functional.

In our new rehab business we are turning away from small jobs now since they are not a profitable use of our time and trying to find ways to trim fat to value added.

That said, there is still a chance this is a big fat zero too.

This will give you an idea of what upcoming expenses you will have, either right after purchase or after a tenant moves out.Talk to the tenants if they are present and ask them if they have any current issues that need to be addressed ("I've had a roof leak in my bedroom that hasn't been addressed" or "Only 2 of the burners on my stove work" or "My AC quit working last summer" or whatever).

I just wrote uncle some nice big fat checks yesterday so I think I am over the heardle and my commercial bank here IN Oregon will finance my personal residence no problem.. but they finance it like a commercial property 6% and I want one of those 4% loans... :)....

Weekly Update 4/20-4/26 Last week I was starting to think I would be reporting a fat "goose egg" for my weekly update but then Friday afternoon I got another text from wholesaler #1 letting me know he tied one up and later I got a phone call from him on another house that he was trying to get locked up for quite some time, but the seller was pretty set at 10k higher than what he was offering him.

Put her on the back burner.

If he is missing out on deals by $100 then someone is getting a hint on what to offer or something so this is the only legit suggestion I could offer b/c someone is getting put on the back burner.
