You have 2 choices at this step and 1 will fit you a bit better than the other. 

(I couldn't take money until I closed on the property, and I have language in the contract that I keep your security deposit if you break the lease.)2) I think I made good choices as far as my purchases went. 

Lots more hand holding and guidance through the process.In the end it is the seller's choice if they discount their price or not, but chances are they are still fully compensating their agent, based on their listing agreement, not because the buyer is unrepresented.

Smaller towns may just have 1 choice. 

Hi @Edem Ahlidza, this is really a personal choice on what changes you would want to make if any. 

Best bet is to just collect all the information and make your own decision.

@Peter Amendola excel/google sheets is your best bet.

I think it would be wise to get your own eyes on the property, and setting up the furniture, but I bet you could hire it all out if you wanted. 

I don't make very much money at the 9-5 but you can bet I track every freaking dollar coming in and going out for my properties.

@Casey Ricks, your best bet is an investor in my opinion.
