I guess my question is, how can you either a) find their phone number so you can call them about your interest in their property b) get the type of information you would normally from a site like list source, where you see equity %, etc. 

That's what really got me married into the deal and I had to wake myself up and say "There is no deal here."

From the side of the conversation I am reading, your liability extends only to repairs, not for damages, and only for repairs attempted during normal business hours.Don't talk to this person.

it will get completely cleaned/demoed and locked for a few months until we are done with #22 and #23, and maybe #25, which will be a flip. this one will sit on the back burner and simmer. but normally we can do this in 2 months or less. i try not to rush these things.rent - projected around $1,150 if i put a shed, since it has no garage.not sure if you can see the rest of the pics if you follow the link - https://picasaweb.google.com/105275838861600742492...

Earned income goes into your IRA (as normal).

Because a SFH normally would be 2-3 bed rooms with one being mine and it just seems like being a roommate with someone who shares the same bathroom, kitchen, and living room area would make the dynamics a little confusing right?

If you are thinking of a hard money lender or a conventional construction loan, then normally the repair money is held in escrow and as Wayne said given out in draws as you complete the work. 

Where you normally get the kind of tenants from ?

Normally occupants are not liable for the rent.The Estopple he mentioned is a letter from the tenants explaining the terms of their agreement especially anything that may not be in the lease.

I am looking at purchasing my dad's house as he gets ready to move into a retirement center and was looking for an opinion on my simple financial proforma on the house.I am a first timer and normally would not be looking at a full retail value purchase, but it is my dad.
