I have to say I'm entertained by idea that a property management company would be incapable of handling utilities though ... hopefully their fee was low! 

(I worked it up using the house flipping calc using 95k ARV)Again, I wouldn't be handling it as a flip- my strategy is to rent it out but I am trying to get "sweat equity" as well and would entertain selling it if the numbers were to good to pass.  

But also, if they're working with an Agent, that has already been discussed and the Agent knows whether or not the seller will entertain it.

I am thinking of possibly the benefits of an LLP being that we can write off meals and entertainment for when we go out to eat and discuss the property and some asset protection being that there is two owners. 

Make sure the space you set aside is seperate from living and entertainment space.

Should I make an offer, wait for it to be accepted and sign the contract and then entertain offers?

Most IMO are not the way to learn about financing, but might be entertaining.

It's hilarious, entertaining and worked out perfectly in the end.

I will try to stick to your past experience explaining you have only have budget to entertain 3% finder fee.

Very readable and entertaining with lots of practical examples.
