Newer isn't always better, and this picture sums it up pretty well. 

When I purchased the house, the second unit was already occupied, and I decided to keep the tenant.The tenant has been living there for the past 3 years and had not missed a rent payment until a few months ago.

When I was wholesaling, the hardest thing to do was to find reliable contractors who could get the job done and not leave the house a total mess. 

I was told by my lender that these costs should come down more as some of the title fees are conservative estimates at this point.

What´s the question or advice?   

Therefore it's not uncommon for someone to buy a new construction that's the same price as an old house but it comes with an one year warranty and all the new stuff. 

Since you and your wife lived in the condo until September 2021, you can sell it and potentially exclude up to $500,000 in capital gains (as a couple) if sold before September 2024.

Long term is to have a long term investment with a back up plan of flipping the property.2.

What is the deal/analysis advice you seek?

I have a property on Kauai that is up for refinance this next year.
