Some of these properties I don't even trust the wood that I am walking on. 

This is in a neighborhood close to downtown Ann Arbor, just half a block from the river and walking distance to the University of Michigan medical center, campus, and downtown Ann Arbor.

Ideally I'd like to walk the property with a project manager and discuss what I want done.

If you put down 30% or so, that gives the lender some assurance that you have something to lose and will not walk away.

I think it will be a good solid long term property and it is a great location for me personally (5 minutes from my house, 15 minutes from where my kids attend school, and walking distance to my favorite Mexican restaurant).I have been able to trim operating expenses over $250 per month so far and think I'll potentially be able to trim them another $200 or so per month within the next month or so.

Given the original post is 3 months old Calvin Clark has either closed or walked away from this deal.

You could tell the seller he has x amount of days to accept or you are walking.

I would schedule the appointments around your schedule in exchange for you walking myself and the seller through the wholesaling process.  

Due to my upbringing and my Mother as a resource I have some experience walking in the door but would by no means call myself an "expert".

I didn't want to take a chance on it having been installed incorrectly, and the ensuing mold issues, so I walked.
