The square patch that needs fixed accounts for about 1/10th of the room's floor.

"What happens if we get a scratch or have to patch a hole in the drywall"?

(replace broken toilet, patch carpet, etc)

I've done 3 roofs this year and the cheapest was $5600, which is a shingle tear-off, patch any decking, standard roof felt and standard 30yr architectural shingles. 

The seller "fixed it" (spacing) by zip tying lattice to all the spindles....yes, zip ties and plastic lattice....smh i tore out all the spindles, patched holes, repainted, then sunk all new spindles using 3" screws.

Dont know how huge the holes are, but a 4'x8 'sheet of drywall is under 10.00This part seems like a minor issue, even if you have to bring a drywaller in to replace or patch the holes, cost should be minimal, maybe I'm missing something. 

Floor sanding/refinishing, painting, one or two windows and some wall/ceiling patches.

In a building we are able to do this such that we can patch any unit to any carrier.  

If I were you I'd sign up for Realty Shares, Real Crowd, Realty Mogul, and Patch of Land to begin and start looking over deals.

I came across a site called " Patch of land" The site looks interesting, one thing I noticed is that it talked about being an accredited investor.
