It’s my very first purchase ever and i could risk losing both opportunities, so I guess I am looking for moral support from the community.

It's going to be tough to cover CapEx and maintenance with only $350/mo and the risk just doesn't seem worth the reward.

The deal gets to close on time, the work gets done, the work inspected to the buyer's satisfaction, then the money is released form the Escrow.This can work just as well for open permit issues and other paperwork that might take too long.Anytime you ask for repairs, you risk holding up the closing.

I carry a dollar figure for buyer inspection requests, as I always have to "fix" stuff after inspections.

That said, I know people who have made good money in really bad locations, but I would argue they took on a much higher risk. 

Welcome to this houses episode on Flip or Flop, where we are gonna risk it all in hopes of making a couple bucks. 

No point in risking their purchase on a minor mistake on your end.

Are you going to finish all of the renovations in 2018 or will some carry over into 2019?

So if we act in a manner that gives one client constructive receipt then everyone of our clients past and future are at risk for being in constructive receipt of their funds. 

So in essence by waiting and hoping they accept your bid you are taking a risk that this great deal becomes someone else's good deal.
