If laundry is on site find out if that is something that is contracted out.

Probably the biggest thing was that I partnered with a contractor who had a different vision for the property than I did.It was an old duplex that he envisioned as being sold only to an investor and he wanted to finish it with low-mid grade finishes (formica, wall-wall carpet, clean up the old gas stoves, etc). 

The first refi will clean up my credit report and raise my fico score enough qualify for the best rates on a rate and term after.

Welcome to the site Julio.As for being allowed to see a property if your buying at auction no you cannot see the inside.

Welcome to the site @Francois Acosta

This site has been saying we are at the top of the market for almost 3 years now.I almost want things to tank just to save my eyes the pain of constantly rolling them at every freaking Nostradamus on this site. tldr: YAWN..............

Does anyone use this site for information?

Before the home was sold the new owners had it inspected and they wanted the boiler services and cleaned.

I would have them post a performance and payment bond for the build (so you have recourse if it goes belly-up) and have them name as you additional insured on their insurance policy.Don’t forget to check the utility infrastructure to the site.

Keep up the great work of staying active on the site and letting the knowledge soak in :) Best of luck to you!
