If I had my license I would not have to dish out the full expense of an agent when selling properties.2) I do a lot of driving and when I see a property that fits my criteria I would like to have 'easy' access.

Students rarely have time -- or worse -- just see a mess as someone else's problem or something they will get to later so dishes in the sink, bugs, cleaning after their pets, etc, are just a few of the problem areas.  

You have to take in to consideration that you are only repairing one side so what if you spend this $10k and have to dish out more on the next side.there are many things to factor here.

We have a few contractors and US military personnel involved, as well as other expats and Koreans. 

Most private money guys want you to have skin in the game first before they dish out any funds. 

So he sits outside the kitchen, get a ticket for every dish taken out and confirms it, and at closing time, confirms customers paid for the same number of dishes out front that came out of the kitchen.

It seems like something one of my Korean colleagues would write.Anyway back on your question.It might be a scam.Go through escrow.It may have worked in PA but you don't know this person.If they don't want to use Escrow they need a reason or just walk.You should probably just walk.

More than one bathroom makes a live in flip easier - you remodel one bath while still being able to use the other(s).A property with a utility sink makes it much easier to wash dishes than doing them in the bathtub, although your kitchen won't be torn apart forever.A garage to store tools is nice to have.Avoid the "weird" houses.

Instead of going to the kitchen to wash dishes, they washed them in the shower, and then called the city and told them their "kitchen" doesn't have a sink.

Also personal spaces for food and dishes.
