The basement has a "kitchenette" that really just an old bar with hot and cold running water, a microwave, and a hot plate.

So I went along with the inspection but now I'm having cold feet, again.  

It's not recommended to install plumbing chases on exterior walls in cold climates.

The plan was that once we sold, he would be paid for the rehab plus 50% of the profits.Turns out he got cold feet in a few months after listing the property and wanted to exit at a substantially lower figure than what we had agreed to, so I bought him out and sold the place a month later.My point is, this type of arrangement can work but make sure of the hurdles and what you will be giving up.How much would a contractor charge for a regular rehab, with weekly draws?

And how your interest is insured.If they didn't get title insurance, you're dealing with an amateur and you probably have other things to be concerned with, like who gets left out in the cold in a foreclosure, who leads in collections and pays expenses, little stuff like that. 

Do I need to start cold calling off of signs I see?

In Chicago, in the freezing cold of winter, people still go to bars in droves. 

I live in San Diego, so making the long distance buy was a little anxiety provoking even though I have family in the area.

I had an issue with 4-wheeler's riding through my backyard along the lake, most active during deer season and cold weather.

My master bedroom closet on my personal residence is freezing cold!
