I wanted to see if there was anyone local to Purdue University that is involved buying or selling real estate.I am an electrician with backgrounds in mechanics and control systems(more information in my profile) and id be more than happy to share my skills in return for mentorship or just to network.Otherwise I was wondering if there are investors in this area (Tippacanoe and surrounding) that could shed some light on this area regarding how difficult it may be or areas to stay away from. 

There were many bids, and hours of discussion over how to properly proceed once all of this had come to light.  

Nick Siegler with Porch Light Home Inspections.I use him primarily due to his attention to detail, leaving no stones unturned, and speedy efforts to get the report conducted and presented within 1-2 days of request!

You can pre wire motion lights, then slide the wire thru the wall from the outside.

You may have been an indoor employee with air conditioning and a comfortable chair, but sometimes the only work available is being a rough neck in the oil field or some other unpleasant type of hard work. 

@William Coet, there is a lot going on with this potential scenario and I want to second the other advice being given here -- tread very lightly with specific tax advice for specific transactions, especially with seller financing.

DR can show you some light but that’s just it

Can you please throw some light on that.

If during inspection it turns out to be a light repair, great--you've accounted for that.
