$8900 to be exact, any ideas on how to renovate a home with less closing costs associated?

I want to know, with my current financial situation, what I can even afford (by the lender's standards) before I dive head first into a property. 

Thank you.Unless you live in a very small area there is no way that a guy doing 75 deals a year is taking all of the deals.I think you hit the nail on the head.

@Jon Crosby Thanks for the heads-up Jon. 

I appreciate the support and help of this community.I currently own one rental property that is 1 side of a twin home acquired through an off market deal through some dumb luck (asked a co worker about his house once just for an understanding of no association, and he called me 3 months later and asked me if I wanted to buy his, he was moving across country).  

I’m an associate broker with a small boutique real estate agency, and we recently got an opportunity to be the leasing agency for a couple of larger commercial buildings here in town.

The paperwork and other associated accounting/legal headaches will be less.

The tub was the type that also had the side walls as one entire piece so along with the tub that was cut out was the walls as well.I contacted the home insurance and was later told that they were unable to cover any costs associated with the replacement because it was considered "over a period of time damage" and not sudden.I was well aware of how to demo all of the old tub and to clear out the area but after that my youtube education began.

There's so much information out there and honestly my head is swimming.

Head-scratching 'solutions to affordability ' going on there in Seattle!
