Your heirs inherit what potentially has become an extremely valuable asset with great tax benefits. 

Kind of sounds like the seller and vendors screwed up too...... no way am I putting my $$ out there until I am 100% sure the buyer is locked and loaded and EVERYTHING is lined up and in order.The seller still et some value out of that expense since they can use those inspections and repairs for the next buyer.....Probably the most valuable lesson is to have your $$ all lined up before you get very far into making any offer...lesson learned..... move on and don't make the same mistake twice

There isn't any magic wand any realtor can wave to find you a "deal", but we can help you make offers on properties you have interest in on the MLS and provide you with valuable info to help determine whether it'd be a cash-flowing rental or not since you mentioned you want to BRRRR.

Also, what are your thoughts on replacing white, functioning appliances with stainless steel?

It is a way to make the sellers feel like they are getting something valuable in the negotiations when the fact of the matter is you are probably better off coordinating any repairs stemming from the inspection anyway after you take ownership.

Thank you for this valuable information!! 

I have already taken some valuable information and steps. 

Thanks everyone for valuable suggestions 

First the home is excavated around the house to allow for holes to be made in your current foundation, then the steel beams are placed in these spots.

The agent is new but he seemed willing to learn and lookup what he did not know which I find valuable in any profession but I will take you up on the offer if another agent I spoke to doesn't work out.
