@Alex ThomsenThat is Way too much and also in North Carolina there is some weird due diligence fee that is not refundable so be careful.

He has bought and sold over 300 million dollars worth of real este and doesn’t care that he’s going to lose some money by almost giving me this property.

I let them know, yes proceed on T&M not to exceed the original number and do not do any work above that number.Week later contractor finds an issue and says "hey, we have another issue and we can take care of it for $500, As it stands I believe I am going to come in under my estimated total." - So we authorize the work.Contractor submits the quote yesterday for $8k and is threatening me about it. 

Others do not care about the details.

However, it wasn’t clear if lawn care, snow removal, and ongoing maintenance costs are included, as they were initially listed as $0.I’ll clarify with the seller exactly what’s included in their reported expenses to ensure we have a complete picture of recurring costs and any potential gaps.the seller dropped the price from 798k to 645k.

You can then check with the local county if the deed is in fact in that name (caution: if the property was bought recently, the county may not have caught up on the paperwork).Just be careful and NEVER give any form of cash to the seller, always send EM/downpayment to a title company that you have verified.

I currently enjoy my full time job in health care, but would love to cut down on my hours in another 5-10 years.

You inherited the house and might not care about losing it all since it was free, but liability claims could reduce this investment and your personal wealth.  

I prefer ERentpayment, even though they had issues many years ago that have been taken care of now, which is why I'm back with them.

Purchase price: $381,600 Cash invested: $531,600 We purchased this adult care home for $381,600 on the market.
