Otherwise, just have a rock solid contract that ties the seller down and close in July.

Festus,There are a few red flags that stick out in your description. 

Different water heaters and furnaces, walls are often wood paneling instead of sheet rock, insulation can be an issue in colder climates, roof leaks, etc.

your numbers need to be rock solid. i would need some additional info to be able to help.

The biggest red flag for me is the fact the woman there said something else was causing a leak and gave specifics of the cause and it fits the damage and time frame. 

i want to get a home for myself but i know for sure in the future i will do better.maybe the 4 green houses and red hotel concept works from how i look at it.I live in a unit, fix a floor move to the other rent it out and so on and so on.I try to cut down the cost of living the best way i can.

I have this same issue right now with some tenants who, otherwise, are rock solid. 

This year is going to rock!

In the basement the inspector didn’t see any red flags.

Red P/U crushed and upside down in center land with 3 firetrucks blocking all lanes.
