Or is exhaust hood ventilation fine?

But I had to actually lower the price even after I put new tires and fixed the exhaust...I would say buy only amazing deals if you want to flip cars.  

Every house built here has a furnace and water heater on the same exhaust vent.

I have been working with clients, coaching them on making the transition from Residential investing to Commercial investing.My clients have exhausted their investment capital from friends and family and are seeking guidance on reaching the next level by raising funds outside their inner circle to continue investing. 

Just a safe livable place, it all depends on what you are doing and if it has to be brought up to code based on what you are doing, ex: new kitchen will need all outlets brought up to code and depending on the size exhaust hood for the stove that may need makeup air brought in if the fan is over 400 cfm.

Purchase price: $145,000Current Loan Balance: $139,000I know $5,000 is a small amount to be holding up a deal but I've exhausted the options I can think of and am looking for another option to held me get over the hump.

I have exhausted most of my normal banking contacts.

If you buy a duplex or a house hack, you could jumpstart financial freedom by not only living for free but by actually profiting off your primary residence until you have exhausted the benefit.

and your options for further marketing (do you think you have exhausted all your networks or will continuing to market do any good?)

Jennifer,At the risk of sounding very negative I am not sure where the opportunity is with a deal like this.You would be upside down on the day of purchase, have to come up with $139K just to get into it (how many times can you do that before you have exhausted all available cash), take 14 years just to repay the down payment, and if you have never done student housing there can be a steep learning curve that could kill your first couple years of cash flow.You may have other investment objectives that make this a great deal... and that would be fantastic... but as presented I couldn't recommend this deal to an investor.Best of Luck!
