My guess would be that they didnt get the condo questionnaire back from the management company/association until very late in the process.

I’m an associate broker with a small boutique real estate agency, and we recently got an opportunity to be the leasing agency for a couple of larger commercial buildings here in town.

I'm a realtor and investor and our country guy comes to the realtor association once a quarter and practically begs us to ask first. it's worth a thought.

So be sure to factor in all of the costs associated with the property.

@Manuel Angeles I agree with Nghi Le in his statement above.Although you have experience on the job site (which may give you an advantage on tough rehab projects) most lenders want to see the number of successful sales you've directly been associated with (meaning on title to some extent).

$8900 to be exact, any ideas on how to renovate a home with less closing costs associated?

I appreciate the support and help of this community.I currently own one rental property that is 1 side of a twin home acquired through an off market deal through some dumb luck (asked a co worker about his house once just for an understanding of no association, and he called me 3 months later and asked me if I wanted to buy his, he was moving across country).

The paperwork and other associated accounting/legal headaches will be less.

The tub was the type that also had the side walls as one entire piece so along with the tub that was cut out was the walls as well.I contacted the home insurance and was later told that they were unable to cover any costs associated with the replacement because it was considered "over a period of time damage" and not sudden.I was well aware of how to demo all of the old tub and to clear out the area but after that my youtube education began.
