The home inspection is now back and I have found from it items which total to around 6000.

I will focus more on the items you suggested.

One of my old borrower back in Indy started a company for these things.His target was Realtors who needed to get the repair addendums addressed on new purchases  You know when the home inspector comes through and has a laundry list of little items.. in the buyers market of course buyer would come back with a repair addendum fix 100% of the items.. well now that the market has shifted the seller say take it or leave it..

Mobile homes, being so much smaller, can cost quite a bit less to fix up and with out business model it needs to be that way. 

One advantage of following a model where others have been successful, is that it can typically be easier to get financing.Is the duplex currently 2 separate properties or one? 

If someone has a successful business model that would take me years to emulate, why shouldn't I take advantage of their expertise?

If you like the idea of wood flooring look into lock & fold or glue down wood.One of the newest items going in is LVP or luxury vinyl plank flooring.

Obviously this assumes that there aren't major infrastructure items to be addressed (ie. functioning roof, furnace, hvac, electrical, plumbing etc), but the projects that come to mine for me are painting the interior, granite counters, flooring, and prefab bathroom vanities.Anyone have their list or case studies that they care to share?

I changed the model to a paying site, but have recently changed it back.

I think I'm going to have to start over hereLet me explain my business model to youLet's say you're licensed agent and you were prospecting for listings have taken that approachLet's also say that you're going after expired listings that tried to sell traditionally with an agent and didn't work outI am trying to help that's seller fix the problemHe's already tried with one agent and I have to be differentI explained to the seller has a couple different things we can do one we can sell traditionally like he did before and make sure that the price that's being offered is the perfect price and I analyze that perfect price compared to his old marketing priceIf the market is changed perhaps I can help him sell and make more money traditionally but I'm also going to show him that he can sell on turns versus cash using a lease with option or a wraparound mortgageOnce he sees these three options we can then put together an ad on the MLS selling for cash or termsSee my blog for details :)
