Are the rest of the repairs cosmetic or structural? 

So it's just the cosmetics and appreciation.

If you put in an offer at 85% of list price on every decent home on mls in your targeted area, you're going to get a house or two that should only need cosmetic rehab - which you could control the costs better.  

Something that didn’t need a complete overhaul but something that I would do light cosmetic cleanup in a good area.Reason being is that let’s say I bought a 5 unit building for 500k and put $100k down.Let’s assume that building has $100k in annual gross rents.

That being said, this is mainly doable for folks taking on cosmetic rehabs with great time management/construction management skills.

Do I just do my normal routine, follow up after a couple days if I don’t hear anything? 

During your initial walkthrough, inspect the property for any major issues such as structural damage, roofing problems, plumbing, and electrical concerns, while documenting all cosmetic and functional issues with detailed photos and notes.Once you confirm the property’s potential, finalize your ARV and calculate the repair costs using either a reliable estimator or insights from contractors.

The odors are not always easy to eliminate within the normal apartment turnover routine.

We buy seller financed notes routinely and would be happy to evaluate what you have.

Also hoping that since it’s an 1 year old home, other than minor cosmetic upgrades like design, not much to do.
