I am just trying to give you some insider information so that you can formulate a realistic plan.

Seller, would you take X dollars for the property, would you help with financing, would you let me do a sub-to your mortgage, would you give me 90 banking days to study the property......Those questions are exploratory, the investor is trying to get to the base line so that he can formulate a written offer.

., if the OP didn't formulate a goal, then sure, it's not gonna happen.But, he DID!

It's helping me to formulate a better plan.

It's best for you to formulate your own opinions without the 3rd party, whose paycheck hinges on a "good" home inspection, standing over shoulders.If you're having an inspection, and you can't be there, you'll simply have to review the report.Bottom line, if man built it, man can fix it.

I do know some of the basics about screening tenants and finding lease formulation help but I don't know if or when I may get started.I'm 59 years old, disabled, and living on social security.

I know there is legal zoom and companies like that but I'm not sure if this is what I should use to formulate my company.

To allow room to negotiate and to put the fixed-up house back on the market "priced to sell quickly" to minimize your holding costs.Not a "hard rule", obviously, but do consider those factors when formulating your offer.

Then you relate to your studies and identify which strategy suits you best, and ultimately formulate the plan to go for it.

So when some people are told things they can formulate it but others really need to see it outlined on paper to pick it up quicker.It's a communication and  expectancy thing.
