@Brian PulaskiYeah, I can understand the agents fear of a teenager walking around there clients home because it’s unusual to see, but I wouldn’t invade the sellers privacy in any way like an agent might anticipate.

In other words, the tale begins when things were unusually bleak but also (with the benefit of hindsight) unusually cheap.

.- Potential space to move laundry into upstairs bathroom closet vs basement - Can maybe get away with toilet/vanity replacement in each bathroom- Uncertain if painting or replacing cabinets with ikea type is worth it- Any in-ceiling lighting will cause a disaster with electrical since it is out of date- Repave/fix concrete front porch and side porch - replace/paint railing- Replace front walkway cement, or remove walkway and replace with right angled walk to driveway (may not provide ROI)- Tear down vs paint garage port in back yard

Feeling a little uncertain with all of the options out there but we’re anxious to get started and grow our passive income!

My financial situation is pretty unusual.

However, if your contract states that the seller has agreed to escrow $x for repairs for which the total $ is uncertain... 

I thought maybe I was missing something obvious, but it's so unusual to see something in Denver metro on the market for that long.  

LOs are 'unusual' in the world of realtors and they don't like doing anything unusual just in case they get sued.

I know it's unusual to try such a large rehab as my 1st flip, but if I get to the point that I don't feel I can handle it, I have more experienced flippers I can bring in to take over.

Hiring a PM if you are uncertain is crucial.
