If you get copies fire marshall's and insurance adjustors reports, they will be helpful, but I would recommend hiring a contractor, your building inspector and a structural engineer to walk through the property and assess the fire-damage and estimate the effort to address it.

They didn't make much progress Friday afternoon or a few hours on Sunday.

This passes the 50% rule (before renovation) even if i put down 3.5% and owner occupy (which I'm considering)One negative factor is that even though it's listed at 180k, it's tax assessed over $400k (meaning 6k in taxes!).

Because of the high assessed/implied value of the land I would be tempted to be a little more creative.

You must accurately assess the repairs.  

The standard contract we use in Florida has very specific languages on who's to pay for what...CLOSING COSTS; TITLE INSURANCE; SURVEY; HOME WARRANTY; SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS:105* (a) COSTS TO BE PAID BY SELLER:Documentary stamp taxes and surtax on deed, if anyHOA/Condominium Association estoppel feesOwner’s Policy and Charges (if Paragraph 9(c)(i) is checked)Recording and other fees needed to cure titleTitle search charges (if Paragraph 9(c)(iii) is checked)Seller’s attorneys’ feesOther:106 If, prior to Closing, Seller is unable to meet the AS IS Maintenance Requirement as required by Paragraph 11107 a sum equal to 125% of estimated cost to meet the AS IS Maintenance Requirement shall be escrowed at108 Closing.

ARV approx 40k, assessed at 54k which is pretty average for this part of Wisconsin.

Hello, guys and gals I need a recomendation.Currently have a build in progress and the contractor is stuck on deadlines and pouring a basement and garage floor tomorrow even with the extreme cold temperatures in forecast.

The only thing I know, is that through some real estate training I went through, the creator of that system said he pays $5 per lead to bird dogs which includes: -Property Address -General assessment of the property condition -At least 6 pictures of the exterior He also said if the bird dog also includes the name of the owner, their address, and phone number(via a property records search through the county) that he pays them $10 per lead.

I am in the Dallas area too, look forward to seeing your progress on BP.
