Is it an attractive arrangement when a contractor would pay for all rehab costs (per investors plan) on a property an investor buys, to give first refusal option to contractor to buy the house at ARV minus the rehab costs?

The neighborhoods we are either completely or mostly STR's.If every city did it this way, there would not be so many issues.I think that what is eventually going to happen is that the cities that do it right and that have a reason for tourists to visit will end up becoming much more attractive to vacationers than cities that don't.

Money (or a visa gift card) is always an attractive option for a recipient

I started my research and that first night I found 3 properties in Evansville IN.2 were more attractive on price, but not in the best shape. 

Logic and everything I read says that offering the listing agent the full commission (i.e. not using a buying agent) should make your offer more attractive. 

The buyers are reluctant to mortgage the property, so we have been looking at various ways to attract equity to fund the initial down payment.

For example single family homes are more desirable if they are close to good schools because they are more likely to attract families.

@Buyan Thyagarajan I want it to be in a good enough neighborhood that I can attract decent tenants.

Finding some attractive looking deals, I'm an out of state investor, looking to buy and hold for rental/cash flow purposes, how has this area changed over the years/performed for people?
