Manager lives on-site.Ok, those are the things that are positive about the home and community.Now for the things I feel would need to be added/completed/renovated before ready for sale or rent:New gutters - ~$800Laminate flooring in kitchen and bathrooms to match entire house - estimated $500Stove/Oven - ~$600Fridge - $700W/D (optional) - $600Window in master bedroom - $200Ceiling fan in master bedroom - $200Kitchen sink - $200Redo all door trim/paint all doors/rehang, replace or adjust a few doors - ~$500 (just a guess)Add small door to water heater closet ~$100New master bathtub - ~$8003-4 panels of skirting need to be replaced - $ (no idea) but estimating $200Ramp/Stairs/Deck leading to front door needs to be replaced - $1000Landscaping in front - $200Cleaning entire home to make ready for sale - $200I'd like to get a foundation specialist to look under the home (free)Roofing specialist to talk to me about the metal roof (free)I need to ask her about the furnace (forced air) and its age and working condition.I need to factor in about three months of lot rent (at $375 per month) for the renovations to be completed - $1125And I'd like to have $1000 set aside for unexpected rehab expensesGRAND TOTAL = $8925This would mean that our negotiations to the seller would start at $11,075.First, are these figures anywhere close to realistic?

My property is located in the Bel-air Edison area EAST Bmore, 10minutes from morgan state universityI purchased a property for 29.5, put about 4K into the property.  

I am planning a stay using air bob in march that is the soonest this location has an affordable opening.  

Also, how would you craft the agreement so that you are protected but it is a win-win for everyone involved.I recently listened to one of the older podcasts, where the subject to is crafted in a way that gives the initial buyer a 60 day option to find a buyer wanting to do a lease purchase.My good friend owns a nice 2004 3/2 down the road from me and she is recently divorced but is stationed in CA in the Air Force and can't afford the maintenance on it...she has rented it the last year but couldnt get the rents because of some of the deferred maintenance issues so she can't even cover her mortgage now.  

I would check the moisture content of the walls, concrete floor, wood members in the basement and the air itself - my guess is that they're all reading higher than recommended.

Just make sure you "clear the air" between you going forward.P.S.
