I think you should ask the seller last time what does it take ($) to sign the contract or you can tell her best you can do is offer say $60K with quick closing as condition. 

With an excellent contractor and property manager these can be fantastic investments.

I have a couple of investors who only look for opportunities in this area because they have a contractor who owns property himself in this area.

Do they hire an inspector/contractor to do the walk through and make the deal contingent on a walk through of the property during the due diligence phase?

Hi all,I recently purchased a duplex in Dover, NH that I'll be rehabbing and am looking a reputable contractor to help me with the work.

A few weeks later, we closed on the house.During this project, we did run into a few other issues, mainly with some of the sub contractors, almost all of which had to be fired.

I could've probably found a contractor to do it for slightly less, but as I said that wasn't my main concern here. 

I have very little real estate experience, however I am a licensed contractor with lots of experience.
