It won't fund til tomorrow but I may as well update while I'm excited haha.Brandon Turner So Final Numbers on Duplex:Sales Price: $54,900Seller Concession 2%: $1,098Final PITI: $355/moInsurance from NREIA: $59.07/mo (Special Replacement Coverage, $1m/2m liability) Seller Replaced both furnaces with brand new 80% Efficiency Rheem Furnaces (Cost him $3,000)Inspection revealed some mold in the basement due to a leaking pipe which was remediated and the pipe was fixed.

The seller is trying to screw over the buyer by *FORCING* him (with the threat of losing the deal) to pay for a service the buyer clearly wasn't interested in.The property may have needed pest work done, but I can't imagine what $8500 in pest remediation entails.

The bank's only remedy would be to unwind the sale, I believe.

That could definitely be the case...again, just not enough info...Just to give an idea of where my numbers came from:We turned this:http://www.123flip.com/house-pics/the-rookie-house-before-picsInto this:http://www.123flip.com/house-pics/the-rookie-house-after-picsFor this:http://www.123flip.com/house-35-budget-recapThe house was about 1300 square feet, so that was about $30/sf (and we spent about $3000 on mold remediation in that price).

An example of a reasonable accommodation by creating a remedy plan to preserve the tenancy.

When figuring costs, here are some things to consider:- Many jurisdictions will require permits to demo a house- If permits are required, a Demo Survey will likely be required (and other surveys/tests)- If the houses are old, you may need an asbestos survey- If there is asbestos, you'll need to pay a remediator to remove- You'll need to pay for labor to demo as well as haul-away and dump feesYou can probably find a company that will do all this turn-key for you for not too much more than what you'd pay to piecemeal it.

The courts of Oregon will make you go through a Judicial foreclosure to remedy a default so for sellers these are terrible in this state.

The oven has no venting mechanism....Id want to vent through the attic rather than a recirculating model....what trades person does this and whaty can I expect to pay to remedy appropriately?

In RI they can issue the lead cert with the exterior inspection having a problem I believe if the inspection occurs after Oct 1 but before June as long as you remediate by June.

. - new roof, gutters & soffit - minor mold remediation in basement - kitchen is a gut - bathroom is a gut - bedrooms and living room need paint and floors refinished There is more but those are the major items.
