These questions come to mind for me: Is your credit card limit large enough to fund the purchases and rehabs you are considering?

However, very regularly I would write to them with a question and get a response back saying "I'm sorry, XYZ no longer works at Avantstay, I will be your new contact".

I guess the question turns to which set of tools is optimized to medium term.

Very underrated question.

Best of luck and good question,Mike

Quote from @Richard Eric Hughes: My question is what ae you planning to do?

@Treza Edwards  your original question may answer itself when you say there is not much new construction going on. 

My main question is will I be happy in 10 years that I bought this property?

These should be reflected in the purchase price or negotiated as part of the terms, such as the seller carrying some of the renovation burden.Use seller financing to your advantage by proposing a price closer to $225,000-$250,000 with terms such as 20% down, a low interest rate (4-5%), or interest-only payments for 3-5 years, with a balloon payment once renovations are complete and cash flow stabilizes.If the seller is firm on price, consider negotiating higher down payment terms to reduce the financed amount, paired with interest-only terms or a price reduction tied to renovation milestones.Key questions to address include the condition of the septic system, which can be a significant expense if it fails.

My first questions are what price range are you trying to buy a property in and do you have a home already in the United States?
