I have the lead paint and Seller disclosure forms and am familiar with an Ohio contract but not sure if there are any specifics required in the state of MI.  

There's currently a tenant in the house (who I presume caused the smoke damage), but the seller promises that this tenant will be gone before closing.

However, if the listing price has already been reduced, that typically is the seller's bottom line. 

Hey @Beau WollensYour numbers show a massive swing in potential profit, so refining your renovation estimate is critical.

Additionally, FHA usually isn't the strongest type of financing and sellers don't like it as much because there's a lot more financing restrictions and the house needs to be pretty much turnkey.

To keep her expenses down.My plan is to rent the duplex out agian with new tenants and cash flow for about a year or two until I see the market become a seller market.

The challenge of negotiating against a seller who purchased at the wrong time, invested with the wrong contractor and was losing money on the sale.

We bought the property at below market rate because the seller was motivated and needed to close quickly.

Some will slip through your fingers, sellers will ghost you, and contracts will fall apart at the last minute.

What's the seller's favorite ice cream flavor?
