It sounds like the owner is trying to scam more money out of you by adding square footage. 

This is what I would tell them.If the offending tenant was warned by police or cited by them as verified by a police report then I talk to them about it and follow up with a written lease violation warning aka notice to correct.

It still needs a full renovation but I have all the scope of work and know exactly what needs to be done.Seems as though this hard money has sold it off and looking to get it off their books.If I sell in its current condition I certainly won't be getting what I paid and would have to bring a significant amount of cash to the table.Do you by chance know where to begin to look for capital partners?

A good option to get your foot in the door might be to house hack and rent by the room.

I have a single family house that I’ve been house-hacking by renting out 3 of the bedrooms.

The article does a fantastic job of highlighting things that often go overlooked by sellers.

Even thought the stock market gave us a 6% return it still outperformed the note by $937.51. 

In the end the buyers are paying the buyers agent anyway , either by a higher house price or they are writing a check . 

Peter - I would start by reading a few multifamily underwriting books and watching a few underwriting videos on YouTube.
