If you get the green light, you can then proceed with the transaction and hire the lawyer directly when you have the review the purchase contract or make an offer.

So no bills for the owner (though owner normally has gas, and on larger properties there is normally a "house" electric meter for outdoor lights and maybe a house gas meter for laundry or hot water heater/broiler)As opposed to single / 'master' metered properties where the units are leased as 'all bills paid'

New or updated ktichens, all HW floors, fresh paint, new lighting, alarm systems, etc.. 

Sort of like running a traffic light changing from yellow to red  - OK as long as nobody catches you doing it.

I still buy the design materials (tile, lights, door knobs) but the basic materials I just have them buy and it's included in the quote.I would just ask the contractor to do the quote whichever way you want it done.

My girlfriend and I are about to jump in on our first flip and was hoping to get the green light from people here.We've been searching for rental properties mainly but happened upon a foreclosure that came up for sale just 2 days ago.

Travel with me towards the light, will you?

The biggest things still yet to acknowleged by him or finished is a couple of outlets not working, track light not working, and he hasn't given me a key to my mailbox.the electrical I'm not to worried about, though I am hand delivering a notarized letter next week about it, mostly It's the mailbox.
