To effectively evaluate the financial implications of renting versus house hacking, we'll dive deep into the numbers and walk you through how we calculated them.

I would recommend you find a fire restoration company/contractor to walk the property with you and give you a good understanding as to what needs to be done.

I commend you, @Anne Jenkins, for meeting the rehabber and personally walking every property you lend on.

So you walk away with 25% equity/75% debt split on a property where the mortgage is being paid by a renter and there's a few hundred per month extra for your pocket.You now get to repeat the process again, it is called "rinse and repeat". 

You might be able to ask @Matt Maurice who I believe does walk-throughs for a fee, and then you can decide whether or not to use his crew.

Enjoy one of the best locations. 5 min drive to Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Hospital (or a 15 min walk), 10 min drive to downtown Winston Salem, 15 min drive to Wake Forest University.

I always add the following in attorney review just in case people think it is a waiver: "Any references to "as-is" or "informational purposes" in the Contract or any riders shall neither void nor limit any rights relating to inspection contingencies, including Paragraph 16 of the Contract, and final walk-through."

In your case, if the seller is not willing to sell it to you at the appraised value, then you should first express to the agent that you are willing to walk away on from the deal if there is a deadlock on the fair market value price.

I have walked all 77 doors also 

People have even walked into court making some crazy arguments and have won.
