or just put some lipstick on it and rent it..... last time I bought a property i was all goody goody as well as paranoid and got a mold inspection which now has that property on the hazmat list till i shell out some 20k to remediate it (which mostly seems to consist of guys wearing cosmonaut suits, just like in Ebola land, spraying a cleaning solution, and billing $100 an hour each.....- not to say that mold remediation isn't important, but maybe I could have gotten rid of some of it myself before calling in the mold specialists.) 

So our solution is to have him put 100% of the down payment down into the LLC. 50% would be his down payment and 50% would be a loan (no interest) for my down payment.

,Congrats on being persistent and finding a solution!  

Thanks Max - yeah, that's actually what the plumber suggested too, and I might consider that as a short term solution, but to be honest, I wouldn't put up with that as a tenant for very long (snaking a clogged toilet is not a particularly pleasant task), so I do want a more "hands-off" solution in the loner term.

I am highly motivated and rarely fail at anything, but when I do, I pick myself up, analyze the mistakes I've made, and provide an immediate and long term solution.

I am a recently new member to biggerpockets also I am a new RE wholesaler investor that has just opened the doors to my own REI company Wilson Property Solutions.

If any question remains open about a property before a contingency expiration date then that question needs to get answered, or if there is a problem a solution to the problem needs to be found before the contingency expires.

I know the obvious solution would be to be an owner occupant, but for this discussion let's assume that's out of the question.

Together as business partners we may have a solution for this or if you would like I could present you a investment opportunity in the future.

Once again I thank any member in the know who takes the time out of their most certainly busy lives to educate another who is not.Sincerely, Dan Dwyer Wilson Property Solutions
