For me I think it's less a function of time and more a matter of how much interest is coming in through other channels.  

Its been inspected and Contractors quote is about 40k (conservative number) worth of work combined both sides.

If your house is fully functional I would not cancel.

In my market that's C-/D class, run down, under market rate, or a combination. 

Hi All, Currently looking at a mobile which would be my first ever mobile home purchase, so im new to the scene.Property Information: 3/21404 sqftBuilt in 2007RenovationsNeeds New Front and Back StairsNeeds pet odor removal Needs new flooring I was going to rip out all carpet and install LVP, if we move forwardNeeds some minor Drywall and Paint While at the home all MEP was on and functioning Looks like the seller has a cititation posting due to them not taking care of the lawn. 

.#3 like said;  a good deal is a function of details unique to you and your goals.   

Purchase price too high vs rent too low.You might do better to just buy a home that you want to live in, that's in a nice neighborhood with good schools, and then buy a second home for investment that might be cheaper and in a different area that makes more sense to get a combination of rent vs purchase price.Most duplexes are in residential neighborhoods....but may not be the neighborhood you want to live in or in single family neighborhoods. 

I’m starting to market to off market properties, but plan to do so in my function as a real estate agent and basically just charge a commission and represent both sides.

You can ask all this at once if you have this many questions.Also try out the search function to keep you busy reading for weeks.

Or a combination of both options.
