But I would ask for advice and then follow up later with a thank you which includes how the advice worked out. 

As @Jerryll Noorden said BE HONEST, full disclosure, INCLUDING that your a licensed agent. 

I don't remember the exact cost when I did it but I remember thinking it was cheaper than expected.I didn't see a comment mentioning that you should just include utilities in the rent and increase it based off that so I'll be that guy.

The majority of investments is a game of "race to the bottom" and "who holds the cheaper debt" card. 

That is not including Bucks games/stadium concerts and events plus the Brewers.

I had specifically asked for numbers including mortgage payments and they emailed to me.

That should really be the deciding factor...is it necessary and a large enough project to include the permit process?

The number of DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans a lender will offer can vary depending on the lender, your financial situation, and the property cash flow.

But I have since found a better solution for my situation that does not include wholesaling the property.

You want an investment that pays for itself, including mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and even some money set aside for a reserve to cover vacancies and capital expenditures.
