I'm looking for somebody that wouldn't mind me looking over their shoulder and just watching and learning.I want to see the reality of what it takes to rehab a house in various levels of disrepair and learn the differences between rehabbing for a flip and rehabbing for a rental.Or, if you're just open to answer questions that would be great too

-There is a driveway between this improvement and the neighboring house, and the space between the 2 buildings is the width of this driveway (~1 car width).  

They don't need me looking over their shoulder as they look around, or rushing them so I can get back to work.

How about that driveway, that would be $5000+ in my area, and more if it was a 2-3 car width the whole way up.

Personally, I would be happy with that deal, even if all of the managing fell on my shoulders.

.- The phone and electric utilities have to move wires out of the way at no cost (seems odd, but OK)- The main limiting factor is the width of the road- Longer distances (1 mile+), depending on how fast the utilities act to move wires, might result in an extra day's pay of a few thousand.  

He's "lost" quite a few, but he shrugged his shoulders - either he gets a property, or gets his principle + a nice interest rate.

They need to have a minimum of 5.7 sq.ft. clear opening with a minimum width of 20" and a minimum height of 24".

Considering it's lending and the liability is not on the lender's shoulders I figured it won't really matter. 

Since the developer is still in the HOA 1) the other owners will shoulder more of the HOA fees, since they are exempt of the capital renewal portion of the Fee calculations  2) usually they have the HOA structured that they have all the votes, so you will not have a say in how it runs.As for the higher rate... talk to your lender to see if that makes a difference.
