In your shoes, I'd budget 50K going into the deal and revise that number pending on the outcome of my diligence (building inspection, title search, zoning review, etc.).

Your local Realtor is probably the best suited to advise you on matters like this, but I would probably not accept the offer if I were in your shoes.

Maybe I'm just not asking the right questions so, if you were in my shoes, where would you go from here?

, but I wanted a good all-arounder.I settled on Keen as best for me - hiking boots or shoes.

We always used the back door (came straight from garage) and that's where we hung coats, kicked off shoes, etc.

I'd be pretty happy in your shoes, and would be licking my lips for 2-3 years from now, when rents might well cover that entire mortgage payment.

It will ruin a pair of shoes and pants . 

(see re-classifications above).Buying a note that has recently been originated can (does) put that note buyer in the shoes of a lender, this is called "funding at the table".

Hence if I was in your shoes I wouldnt. 

Hi, @Brian Wheeler...try this BP thread I found from last year: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/55/topics/121....Sounds like there are some other people in your shoes that you can reach out to here on the site.
