Otherwise, rent ready does a lot for your peace of mind, saves you cash because you aren't renovating it and you can collect rental income right away instead of in a few months (took us 5 to finish our renovations and cost us nearly $3k a month to hold it). 2 bedroom homes usually don't make sense numbers wise - too many set costs in building a home that make 2 bedrooms higher PPSQFT and the appreciation isn't as strong.

I am leaning towards hiring an attorney for the peace of mind but I also want to make sure I’m not taken advantage of.

Probably will look even better if the first buyer enhanced anything inside prior to this next auction.
