I'm in negotiations and I am looking for the best way to approach it.

Hello, I'm thinking of approaching some probate attorneys to build meaningful relationships and partnerships with them to eventually wholesale their clients' properties and make it more seamless of a process.I'm young and don't have that much experience in the probate world and wanted to throw this out of the BP community. 

I house hacked and it's been incredible! 

Then, you think after you get a bank to lend on that nice 80k house, what's the change in your cash position - as you'd be paying down your revolving balance with funds from that refinance.Your ROI analysis is more your 'steady state' kind of way of approaching things - so you'd only start introducing that when you're looking at your rent vs your ongoing costs - (income) vs what you have invested. 

Your best approach especially when starting out for calculating rehab expenses is form a relationship with a Contractor..

There are pros and cons for this approach and yes the Contractor and Architect would be on the same team and work in tandem.  

I know it is incredibly hard to drain that emergency fund.

I need advice on deciding what is the best approach for this situation.  

Best approach is to not invest in properties that do not have separately metered utilities.
