A few that I think of instantly are: - Why is it vacant/Are there soil issues/Is there anything hazardous about the property itself/how long would rehab take and the property starts to produce income, are there large outstanding liens/easements on the property? 

The broker I've been considering has assured me that he'll hold my hand as much as I need it while I get my bearings down.Do any of you have advice? 

those could be/are big assumptions, equivalent to "what if an asteroid destroys the planet?"

In your state, as you've likely now figured out, you need the W-9 from the tenant to open the required interest-bearing bank account to hold their security deposit. 

With only 15k left in the repair funds that was financed to me.Luckily, my one other property resigned another lease and I was able to increase rent to wear it is able to bear the payments on the house that isn't finish wear I am atleast still making $75 a month haha.It needs electric, hvac, and finish work.Any ideas?

Or, another question would be, are their companies or something that do all this sort of work for you but work off a commission/percentage/flat fee sort of thing, just as long as they build the property for you?

Just know that chances are this will be a bear to renegotiate in the future. 

The homes are >100 years old and are just a bear to renovate.

If choosing to work on your own place keeps you from earning money you otherwise would, I'd still consider it an opportunity cost that bears including in your costs to acquire and get rent-ready. 

The ordinance is clear - double SD is the penalty so if you can settle for less than that I would do itAlso be prepared to prove the $10k was in a seperate interest bearing account
