My inquire was to see if anyone on Bigger Pockets had done business with them and to get a gauge on how satisfied they were with them.

So, this is my first post on BP (and with no deals under my name) so I'm no expert. 1% is just a rule of thumb to gauge how good an investment is.

Tile can take a huge beating and you can pressure wash it with the right tools.

-Cast Iron plumbing with minimal ABS upgrades (Good water pressure /drainage and got hot fairly quickly) -Chimney is tilting away: Structural contractor states maybe in 10 years would need ~8,000 repair.

We were tempted to glue down vinyl plank (we had luck with pressure sensitive glue in another rental), but it seems like that will require us to add a subfloor.

I've made the switch from a long buy and hold investor to flipping, which of course adds on the pressures of the overall market.

If the garage was built slab on grade, and no concrete block was used to get the sill plates off the ground, then that makes some sense (they probably didn't use pressure treated (PT) wood either).

I’m talking about time away from friends or family, the pressure of balancing a full-time job, stress of being a single parent, or forgoing dream vacations or shiny sports cars.

If you do decide to borrow from family be very careful, be sure they want to lend money and you are not pressuring them. 

I wanted to buy it as and FHA owner occupied a couple months back, they actually originally refused because they had found a potential tenant for the third apartment (even though they were supposedly all filled) and said I needed to make an offer within 48hrs (I was out of state for the weekend, this was at about 11am on a Saturday, and they required "a very strong offer" by 5pm Monday) I didn't go for it because I wasn't into the pressure.
