But I am going to get them over there to give me an estimate and get them started on that mess as quickly after closing as possible.I've also worked with a concrete company before and I think I have a decent idea on what they'll charge me to fix the crawlspace concrete.  

That way you know, concretely how much this stuff is going to cost.

The RMLO can help prepare a Safe Act and Dodd Frank Act compliant loan package in conjunction with the Title Company or closing attorney.

Building constructed in 1980Present loan value appx $77k on a 15 yr note with 3.375% interestP&I pmt is appx $602NOI 2014 was $11489NOI 2013 was $5142      (spent around $4k on updates/remodeling)Appx $27k by my calculations of capital improvements needed in the next 5-10 years to increase the value of the property, properly maintain it, and keep it functionally up to date in order to attract higher quality tenants (located in a b grade area) (I'd rather have more invested to have higher quality tenants - have my own reasons for this line of thinking - willing to sacrifice a bit of profit to have good people)- Redo Kitchens- replace doors and all base trim/casing (more for my taste and would help the place rent out even quicker)- 2 escape windows installed for basement bedrooms- Concrete work needed on patios and near front of the house -- need to be done in the next yearProperty based on comps in the immediate area and a tight supply of decent duplexes here is $175-210k or so.  

Its a give and take, every step closer to closing, you get a little more concrete information.Everything on the DHCR other than legal rents is complete BS.

not that upset.anyway, here are the details:asking - 67, then reduced to 58.purchased - 51ksq. ft - 9563 bed/ 1.5 bathno garage - a shed is presentupdates - ~12k with the driveway, which needs to be replaced.rent - $1,050 estimate when it's all done.my concrete guy wants to buy it on a land contract, so not sure what will happen at this point.

It can even ruin a concrete slab. 

What are other concrete examples of saving pennies to spend dollars and better ways to do things?

aka roof, Siding, Hard Exterior, Concrete etc...)Are you renting it, flipping it, or trying to wholesale the deal out?

All similar construction with comparable concrete walls and shingle roofs.
