On a regular basis I call/text/email an agent to ask pertinent questions to make an offer and never get any response even after multiple attempts. 

I have been reaching out to him for a while now, getting free resources from him which he regularly posts about and also chatting, he has given me great advice and his resources were really helpful.

You'll need to be very careful with your renovation budget and timeline.Your renovation estimate of $120k-$150k seems reasonable for adding a bathroom, redoing the kitchen and existing bathroom, closing in the garage port, and doing cosmetic updates.

Flipping is not a great option right now if you aren't experienced because regular home buyers are buying a lot of the dumps and overpaying, spinning the market for trash homes up too high to make any money flipping.

**Insurance Issues**: Ensure the property insurance policy is updated to reflect the change in ownership to protect both parties in case of damage.3.

A little context: the building is structurally sound and they have done major updates such as septic, generator, and sprinkler system, and all mechanicals are recently inspected and tagged.

They recently cleaned house of a lot of the corrupt people and for now the wait times are worse than before.I had one project in a historic district- remember that the historic district department has a different intake deadline than the regular permit department.  

DTI had become my hurdle, making regular plain vanilla mortgages difficult.

You will never see 2.1% again in your life so before you move you should do all of the renovations with the equity so it's fully updated when you decide to leave so it actually becomes a strong cash flow property and not one you leave with stuff to do and it all comes up at once.

@Joe MonaghanJoe, do you have any updates in this project?
