Also, somehow there is a wholesaler involved so I have no idea how they are making any money out of this deal. 

Good info... are you involved out there?

Also, with the red tape involved in 203k, I'd rather go out of pocket in that sense too!

It is 5 bedrooms, five bathrooms, and about 3200 square feet and a very desirable location.That square footage does not include the full basement that is underneath.

I am wondering if I need to get a realtor involved or what should be my next steps in buying my first duplex to house hack?

Ask the dumpster company what size you need, based on either the square feet or roofing squares - they will be familiar with this.

Hey everyone,I wanted to post and see if anyone who’s more experienced than myself can help me understand rough estimates for painting, drywall repairs and cleaning costs for a rental on the west side of Cleveland.To give some general information, there’s some dry wall cracks, painting of the entire interior which is 850 square feet and deep cleaning of the entire interior since the former tenants left behind a fair amount of food and broken furniture.
