There is no natural gas in the town. 

This one is easier as there's natural gas lines and I can just convert it over but still pricey ($5-7k)The seller doesn't have the funds to make the repairs so I'm trying to find a way to make this deal happenWithout getting bids, I'm estimating about $15-20k for rehabbing these items (FEEL FREE TO TELL ME I'M WAY OUT TO LUNCH)....this is on top of the $5-8k I budgeted to put into the interior.I'm not a flipper and was looking at this as a buy and hold cash flowing property.Looking where to go with this one:A) Reduce offer by $15-20k to $155k- Cons: I'm going to have to find a loan as I need my capital for other purchases in the hopperB) Reduce to $160k and get $5k in closing help- Cons: I'm still going to be out of pocket but b/n closing help and reduced downpayment would be able to get most of the work done and just put the rest on a credit card and use the cash flow to pay it down over the next 12 months.C) WalkD) Other options???

Plus a lot of the small operations leave a lot to be desired when it comes to the bank's tech and things of that nature.

The exact nature of your legal situation will depend on many facts not known to me (us) at this time.

Financing deals of this nature is what I do on a daily basis and could most definitely point you in the right direction, but would need to know more of the specifics.

Naturally, we have many questions and uncertainties at this point. 

May be it hits the natural frequency of the frame.

I knew the downsides of this type of investment but felt that our natural tendencies to over analyse everything needed to be combated by a swift decision and action. 

Some will care of nature of incident, others will be indifferent.We've gotten into a property that had a suicide by hanging in the garage and the next buyer felt it had nothing to do with them and didn't blink.Plan extra padding in your budget for worse case scenarios.
