Gut rehab, cosmetic, more exterior than interior?  

He says he doesn't want to make a profit on it, just wants to get what he owes on it.Stats:He bought in 2009 for 88kRemaining on Mortgage: 76k3 bed / 2 bath1200 square feetHouse worth 95kWhat can been seen from the outside (metal roof installed within 10 years, a 2010 hvac unit, no major problems)I am going to see the interior sometime this week.Since he is super motivated to sell, is there anything I should be looking for to make the deal more in my favor?

I know a good GC that offers a wide range of contracting services (from Interior Remodeling to Outside).

My wife and brother in law just sold their fathers house who passed away so we will be getting half which will be around 170,00 after all expenses paid.Single income home(wife is stay at home mom and a amazing interior designer and visionary for all my home improvement projects) 88k gross. 

Make sure you perform interior inspections, if possible meet all the tenants and then review all of the leases before closing.

You can paint the exterior yourself.The second recommendation is rough in on the interior - you're going to need to start with a plumber, an electrician, then a HVAC person.  

I read about the 70% rule that says you should take your projected exit price net of your renovation expenses and multiply by 70% to get your optimal purchase price (in this case it would be $350k).I am modeling the project with $70k budget for general contractor and interior designer to update the kitchen and related appliances, new carpets, maybe some fresh paint (or whatever else the designer suggests like new ceiling fans, etc.), master bathroom, and some other minor items we are missing in initial projections. 

We have a quote for a Commercial  interior policy.

I use Lowes for my countertops and I use Menards for my interior/exterior doors, smoke/CO alarms.

How can you get rid of tenants that have lied to you before, but now their are destroying the rental by no taking care of the lawn, interior and exterior of the rental?
