@Jaycee Greene, I have to learn more about house hacking to take a deal like this. 

Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing). 

I then connect them with a trusted realtor since we do not have in-house.

It is not your responsibility to house this person's items indefinitely in your rental. 

I invest in Richmond as well, through house-hacking and BRRRRs primarily!

We exited both markets, louisville because of mandating section 8 housing after Covid and just the way they handled evictions and pyments during the pandemic.

Borrowers like that.Since money is the lifeblood of all house flips, I consider this a win-win for everyone.

Ask if their handyman is in-house--which I've seen turn into a "charge up to the owner authorization threshold for every single visit". 

Do you have a step by step list when looking at the potential house?

I am buying a flip house from a wholesaler.
