Hi @Amiris Brown If this is your first purchase i wouldnt recommend starting out with a big project like that...usually it turns out bigger than what you thought... in any case if you really like that property and it has lots of issues i would suggest send the listing agent a backup contract. these usually fall through and you might be bae to pick it up at a lower price. also fnme- homepath stopped negotiating high price reductions about a year ago.. but they usually have an automated system that reduce the price once a month..also something very important to consider- if your'e planing to buy this property and keep it as a rental- because it has lots of mold you have have to get a remediation certificate that the house has been treated and clean. otherwise the tenants can hold you liable and take you to court if they feel the property  still have mold ,that can be very costly... 

The buyer will collect no fees and will not pass go.Every bank addendum I've ever seen is weighted heavily in favor of the bank. 

If it can give more weight to recent contacts in searches would be great too.  

The only time I have ever hired an inspector was for my advantage for a price reduction on a offer that was accepted. 1000 is the most I will do for earnest money.

A good mentor is worth their weight in gold, at least mine was.

student loan debt is highest weighted hit when trying to get a loanif money is no object to you, get a house in west u and youll prob preserve your capital

Originally listed at 169k with a price reduction to 139k We ended up paying 104k after going back and forth with the bank for months.

Again, I'm a beginner, so i know my words don't hold a whole lot of weight but I have heard more savvy investors talk about the importance of knowing how to call an audible and adapt to situations and so on, so... well done!

It takes the weight off your shoulders of pretending to be the actual end buyer.

Yes it is likely too good to be true and unlicensed in this case is basically paying a random person $5 for his or her opinion that is no better than yours, it will not hold any weight with anyone.
