My coach has given me many pointers and they have helped a lot, but I wanted to open it up to the forum so I can get a good swath of perspectives on how others tackle this important skill. 

Of course, the main issue we seek to tackle is how to best limit the liability of the parent company - and the attorneys that we have spoken to claim that 1) "this is out of their league" or 2) are unable to provide any specific insight on the specifics of the legal structure.

Is a property with that much needed repair work maybe too large to tackle for a beginner in my position?

Amount Owed - $18.6kAsking - $17kRepairs needed - $60kARV - $115-120kI do not know how to tackle this.  

I would strongly suggest getting a binder of some sort, or a spread sheet on your computer, and making a list of all the things you need to tackle.

That is probably why no one wants to tackle it. 

The fact they are struggling means it is not easy for them, which means they are tackling things they are not 100% good at, which means they are learning and teaching themselves the things they need to be doing to make it.

@Zachary LaJoye Thank you for your feedback, I have some construction experience but not enough to tackle this myself, I will reach out to local contractor and get their thoughts on land development/ construction cost that way i can come up with a figure on how much i can offer on this property.

And we are seeking financing for the standard 75% of the purchase price.Any thoughts on how to tackle this roadblock would be appreciated.  

Once they get 1% of landlords revenue I could see it going up to 2% ,3% in the next years .On the related note San Francisco is also proposing an additional tax on businesses for the homeless . https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/17/san-francisco-to-consider-tax-on-companies-to-help-homeless.html——OAKLAND — As the Bay Area struggles with an alarming homelessness crisis, voters may soon decide whether to force Oakland’s biggest landlords to pay up to help house the city’s most vulnerable residents.Oakland Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan wants to impose an extra 1 percent annual tax on rental revenue that exceeds $200,000, and use that money to fund homeless shelters, help homeless residents secure permanent housing and clean up the sprawling encampments that line many of the city’s sidewalks.The city needs more money to tackle the problem, and collecting it from Oakland’s biggest-earning landlords makes sense, Kaplan said.
