However, it's common practice for the seller to cover this cost.

I was thinking this could be a good strategy to scale and keep costs managable. 

I have many GC's who have placed bids on conducting a full rehab / even new build, and the area is in a great neighborhood with $400k homes across the front yard.

When they lose or break something they are responsible for the cost.

Hello, Bought my first home in Chicago and it was/is a rehab.

Let her go, get the place treated so it is 100% roach-free, and then find a new renter.At the same time, I would have an attorney draw up a letter hammering the HOA for not stopping the roach problem because it is costing you money to continue treating and you are losing rent income.

In Vinita, OK. 121 year old heavy rehab!

To add, I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.

If you have to change a water heater, which now costs around $2000 in Colorado Springs, that is a large unexpected expense that the owner has to pay for.
