I would love to have a place there to rent out part time and use as a semi-retirement pad in the future. 

Question 3: I think most simply pay it and pad the rent but that is my speculation. 

This slightly increases the cost on the buildings, erection and building pads.

If you go with a realtor, verify he/she are the top agents in the market.If you choose a property manager, ask for owner references etc.3) build in extra padding.

There is a pad but I am not sure of it's true condition as it's covered with grass and tree branches right now!

It's a way to pad in extra money for your buyers and keep them getting there cut especially early on in your wholesaling career while your rehab costs may not be pin point accurate.

I have about two legal pads of yellow letters written and 200 stamped envelopes.

If you have carpet in the basement, you will want to pull that back and most likely remove the pad to aid the drying process.

We just went under a contract for a Single family investment home in a good neighborhood in Atlanta metro area.Home inspector did inspection today and told me that he saw a mouse in the attic and that there are rodents.I asked for a quote and looks like it will take around $1200 to fix the rodent issue.

@Jeff Tumbarello As this will be my first flip, I'm looking for a margin of 25-30% between total investment and ARV in order to pad myself from any unforeseen expenses that may arise.
