I had to get an engineer to evaluate it, and he found what was there was insufficient and i ended up having to reinforce the span significantly.

Thought I'd share a lesson that was reinforced for me today that ended up saving me from doing a bad deal and losing a bunch of money.tl/dr: make sure that you're getting your own estimate from YOUR general contractor instead of trusting one that a seller/wholesaler has and then verifying after you put under contractI'm working with a wholesaler that I haven't worked with in the past and found a deal in Essex (outside Baltimore) that I liked.Here are some of the pictures of the house:Based on the pictures, we considered this a complete cosmetic rehab - the house was shown to be in pretty good shape but there was some work that needed to be done to modernize the house in order to bring current market prices in Essex.Here was the info we had from the wholesaler:Single family, 3/2 bath1320 SFPrice: $90,000Rehab: $35,000ARV: $200,000And the kicker: the seller had a one month old SOWk that had already been prepared by a local general contractor and laid out the $35k in rehab costs.There was enough info at this point to deep dive into the analysis.

Remove the random shutters on the one window.Relocate the house numbers to reinforce the main entrance and treat them as an accent graphic, vertically of horizontally as @Marcia Maynard suggested.Make an effort to carve out an area of the lawn to identify the main entrance with landscaping that leads your eye up to it. 

I  needed someone else to make this observation and just reinforce it so I can justify my moving on from NYC and its surrounding Cash Broke neighborhoods.Thanks again Taylor!

I was also in the art world for 5 years and I use that to reinforce helping with aesthetics and design when buyers are trying to forecast how a home may look.

@Al Williamson Thank you for the positive reinforcement!

But before you do, make sure the previous owner put in place the proper reinforcement in the ceiling to safely install a ceiling fan.

"The wall will continue to move if it isn't reinforced, but may take decades to actually cause a structural issue.

The difference was subtle but with me it was a "punch line" to be used as a joke (which I'm not complaining about, cause that's how I meant it), then the others he seemed like he was getting them to reinforce his ideas and beliefs.

I did this A) to reinforce that I was correct in my assumptions and B) to provide a basis for legal action if unrecorded interests attempt to attack my sale.
