The house's exterior is constructed of brick material with a flat tile roof.

Quote from @Ricardo Polanco: Good evening everyone, I am evaluating the possibility of buying a multifamily property in Scranton, at this moment it has 2 apartments that only need cosmetic repairs and it has a big 2nd floor unit that needs a full repair.

Will need about 10k of cosmetic work and some minor plumbing.

How about a sales contract with contingencies but with a limit where the buyer can only terminate the contract if their find material defects exceeding a certain dollar amount.

Between working around the renovation materials to the 35 minute commute to the first two units I’m having serious second thoughts about this.

Will have cosmetic rehab complete in less than 45 days How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

@Julie Garner This contractor texted me after I received the quote to let me know that materials are included.

It also depends how distressed - knockdown, full gut rehab, cosmetic rehab, lipstick flip.

The property had significant upside potential as it was priced below market value and required mostly cosmetic updates.

Think of it as insurance against substandard work or faulty material.
