I found a seller who is motivated to sell his property at a pretty steep discount.My plan is to put the property in escrow on an executory contract/land contract with the condition that the title will transfer once the seller receives his funds.

Check your roof.  

The need for a home and an office under one roof.

With experience spanning nearly every aspect of real estate—except direct title work—I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with many talented vendors in the Indianapolis area.Today, I’m on the vendor side at Trojan Roofing Company, where I continue to serve the local community.

Actually, I did attribute the coaching fees over 6 month period and thought it's fair for someone like me with no experience in STR at all to start off and have the resources, design, coach, mentor all under one roof to give it a good shot. 

If the home is 100 yrs old, I'm assuming it's a definite gut which is going to require new plumbing, electrical, heating, cosmetics.I spent about $140K reno on my multi family in the heights on NY ave and there were massive problems with it but it was a gut to 3 units & adding 2 bathrooms, 3 brand new kitchens 4 bathroom reno in total, all new flooring, sheetrock , insulation, framing, doors, electrical, plumbing, paint, parts of roof etc.

Actually, a friend once mentioned a unit in Eugene that had to be re-leased after a nasty storm tore off part of the roof.. it’s gritty, hands-on stuff like that which rounds out your perspective.At the end of the day, you don’t need a flawless blueprint to get started.
