Most posters say to use oil based Kilz, but are you also using some sort of enzyme odor remover prior to this?

We installed a water well, fencing, a compacted house pad, and built an $80k barn/workshop.Before we could start the house, I got laid off (oil & gas) and we converted about 1,000sf of the barn to living space.

I would much rather have only my first mortgage balance left due on my house (I'd have $100K+ in equity if so), but life happens and I'm glad I at least hung on to things where I could and 'made' the money I did by buying low so that we could clean the slate and dive into the next chapter with clean credit.I've wanted to get an investment property since last year, but getting my RE license, and cleaning up my debt and finances to the point of shaving $1000+ off of monthly obligations is setting the foundation for what we will accomplish in the future. 

By day I work in the oil and gas sector as an accountant, but I'm looking to increase my knowledge related to real estate and hopefully invest in some buy and hold multi-family units for some additional long-term cash flow.

But if you spent a total of $500,000 ($300K to purchase and $200K to fix up not including closing/holding costs), then you're still short by $50,000 in the end.So you need to negotiate numbers that work up front so you can pay back your private lender(s), have a bunch of cash of your own to bridge the gap, or walk from the deal.But this is assuming you borrow ALL the money.

A quick overview of the property:The home was built in 1813, and looks to have some additions built throughout the yearsThe units are side by sideOil heatNo ACSeptic TankPublic WaterRental income of $2800 per month combinedOffer Price: $265K (based on expectations that the home will need all new windows and one new oil tank)We just had our home inspection today and learned that there are some framing issues in both the attic (supporting the roof) and the basement.

The market up here is and has been pretty hot, even with the oil price downturn.

Each building has one oil tank and one boiler. 

I think its fair to say I’ve been terrorized by insurance companies in NH.For the naysayers: Oil tanks replaced 3 years ago.
