Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't do.General Tips:  If you have the ability to manage a small 4 plex when you start, it can be an invaluable education. 

First congratulations on taking your real estate education seriously and putting yourself out there by posting on the BP forums.

That's why it is important to educate yourself and find a mentor.

So I have a few questions I wanted to asked this well educated community.

But always get educated, numbers don't lie.Thanks again for everyone's input.   

Education and hard work are worth far more than money. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I guess I may be looking for it in the wrong place or just don't know what to look for, lol, need to continue educating myself.

, it's still highly unlikely that an appraiser would have given value to this bathroom in any case, so we're not losing anything from an appraised value standpoint.Seller should be more than OK with it once you educate them on the fact that of all the offers they are evaluating, yours is the only one willing and able to execute a plan to close on-time, without delay, in spite of the flagrantly illegal and unpermitted bathroom.

The more stoic, grounded, and educated you are the smoother the ride.I guess my point is, I'd be leery of blast marketing emails myself.
