This would be a major mistake for the seller assuming that my contingency is accurate.

If I need to have the financial backing of a lender/partner in order to approach seller, and in order to get that don't  I need to be able to show numbers to a potential lender/partner, and I can't make contact with seller until I am ready and my ducks are in a row how can I get a rehab estimate so my numbers are accurate, so I can present those to potential lender/partner to sign on board to get my ducks in a row so I can get into the house to see what the rehab will be. 

In other words, if most or all of my assumptions were accurate (I know that's a HUGE assumption) wouldn't the buyer be in the positive, even if it was by a small margin?

I've had good success following the 1% rule on my sfh properties and am seeing good $$ flow (8-10% 1st year coc return on a 15 yr note) but I have not done a very good job analyzing properly my first commercial property.Price is 480k and these numbers are accurate with full occupancy.

Not much of a point in quoting rates right now when they are going up and up, day after day after day after day -- quote accurate for the day and the consumer will feel bait-and-switched because they are still X days away from the seller signing the dotted line by which time rates will have continued to go up, or quote higher in anticipation of that and they will go with someone quoting lower.

If you can accurately predict it - let us know as many may want to change strategies.What will be more impactful (in terms of waiting) and a more predictable occurrence affecting your decision is rising interest rates. 

Jason,From what I have seen, neighborhoodscout.com is an accurate site for looking up demographic data for an initial comparison of smaller chucks of a city.Also, Julie Aue Elementary, and Health Careers HS are in radically different parts of town. 

That’s likely more accurate.

What you Copy and pasted above from a website is not accurate.

The dogs have since passed away, so I don't think your statement is accurate.
