I am looking into buying a home that needs extensive mold remediation.

Borrowers will want to know your LTV, how fast you can fund, loan duration, requirements for an extension, how you evaluate a flip, loan to newbies, … and on and on and on.

However I just might because getting our tools & renting a truck to haul sheet rock and more sounds extensive. 

I would have saved enough for a 20% down payment by then and as rents are extensive in my area, I am better off with a mortgage.I need advice on a timeline for preparing to purchase, especially what I need to think about now already to set this up.1.

I signed the one page document and after 2 extensions for due diligence, he found the house acceptable  and were headed to close.

I have a number of  friends who have had some fairly extensive issues with their new construction, most being roof issues. 

As you learn and adjust to the needs; then you can hire property managers or contractors for full management; as an option with benefits that comes with costs.If you are in a position to drive then an extension of distance is fine.There are many REIA groups that you can learn from through online or in-person sessionsGood luck.

A logical extension of that to me would be to start provide staging services.

Second, extensive "supply-chain" issues are affecting our economy and leading to higher prices.

We had 60 days for DD and 2 extensions that we ended up using to finalize the financing.
