Frankly, I think that makes it more complicated because not only do you have a desired ROI on your investment (the flip) but so too does the investor who is purchasing as a buy and hold.

That answer is a bit more complicated.

Its not complicated, it is proper.

If you're ever worried about a contractor charging for unnecessary work, bring in an independent third party.

It really is not that complicated but there are regional differences.

Yes, and unnecessary.

Although doing a PPA would be the fairest to both tenant and I, it seems like it would complicate things beyond what is necessary.

To further complicate things there is a good chance that the owner does NOT know that your intent is to wholesale the deal once you get it under contract!

the egress window shouldn't be a big deal if it's a walk out basement...just have a guy do some demo work and then frame it up for a window..use treated lumber for anything that touches block/brick/ground..if it's block or brick on the perimeter, have a mason come in after him to make it look good...make sure to verify egress requirements..in my area they get complicated..windows have to have so much surface area of glass, so much square feet of openable area (can't open both sashes at the same time), so much distance from floor, etc.

(Again, a good reason to keep your books in accordance with GAAP).Insurance assignments can get complicated as I have had losses during a sale, but generally you may want to address any loss in the same way as customary in a real estate sale contract, assigning any losses to the buyer and continue to sell or avoiding the contract and losses retained by the seller.Any significant asset or titled property needs to be listed (generally in an addendum) with the nominclature, serial number and by title as required by state law.
