@Robert Gorra - I've had a similar experience where I've had a really hard time with getting GC's to even give me an estimate, and the few that have have been way overpriced (ie, they want me to put in $20k of cabinets in a budget flip) or have had their prices go up by about 40% and still not give me a firm price when I try to nail down the scope of work.

@Enrique Toledo  If the seller is firm at 10% down, you can always get a personal loan for that 10%. 

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

Be firm and don't let things slide.

Adding your property manager as an additional insured means they will be listed on your insurance policy as a named insured.

Knob and tube is very difficult to insure. 

Quote from @Adam York: Contact your insurance provider and let them know you intend to rent out the home.

Yes, I require renters insurance.
