@Mitchell Jaworski Thanks for the info, I do have a great deal analyzer I bought from @Michael Blank. 

I explained that I can fill in blanks of a form for a client, but can't practice law by interpreting his contracts with seller.  

The quickest example I can refer you to would be Michael Blank syndicated deal analyzer (SDA).

I am only allowed to fill in the blanks.

@Michael Blank   Thank you, Michael!

A financing contingency isn't a blanked get out of the deal free card...

The hud consultant did his inspection and sent me the draw request that night but is was blank.

We routinely use our realtor for purchases and sales, and yes on occasion we could probably save a couple bucks without a realtorOn the flip side our realtor is a business partner of sorts, she brings us off market opportunities, She provides input on purchases and sales.Just this last week she was nice enough to meet an appraiser at a property we were getting refinanced. 

Ask him point blank, what he would offer you, and negotiate up from there. 

We originally liked the blank slate idea of the house but I'm wondering if the material cost for bringing in drywall, ceiling, floor, etc. for the entire house might end up being higher than the alternative option.I would also appreciate any feedback on the BRRR (is that the right amount of R's) strategy we are looking to employ for this venture.
