The only issue I see here is if for some reason it doesn't pass the test post-rehab, I will then have wasted a considerable amount of money as the liability/ethical issues surrounding its rental or sale would be too great to assume.Any advice here is greatly appreciated!

I'm surrounded by a team, who have been in Real Estate For Over 28 Years......My goal in the next 2 years to buy and let go.....

I mean rent would have to be at least 170-200% of the surrounding area otherwise.

Holland, Muskegon, Ionia, and Other communities that surround GR within a 45 minute drive will likely be a good place to put your money.

Actually buying in a place I lived before moving to CA, it has had very strong long term growth for many years and I already have all the necessary infrastructure in place (agent/mgr, insurance guy, etc.)

I recently moved from Ohio to the the NW GA area to expand our REI company down to the ATL and surrounding markets.

But the location (being on a major road surrounded by apartments) is not ideal for our children.  

@Jonathan West At this point I would imagine they are asking for the inspection report to try and get details surrounding the reasons you gave for backing out.  

I have a guy that works way cheaper then he should and does them for about $1300 labor which I know is crazy so I am trying to get a grasp on reality when I start shopping rates again.For a small full bathroom we typically do a complete gut except we keep the tub and reglaze it -  Labor usually consists of ceramic tile shower surround/tile floor - new toilet,light,mirror,towel bar,faucet, shower head - trim and painI know this is region specific but just interested to hear others

Forgive me for being naive I simply just want to know and you're right the crime rates are up there, whats strange is that Trulia shows a low crime rate even though there have been shootings in the surrounding areas in the past three months.
