1 - you should have a few different general contractors walk the property and give you a quote.

location of the property was near downtown and walking distance to trails. also I was desperate to find deals on market How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Here in Denver, we find a lot of properties that can be split into two units by putting up a wall (split-level houses or houses with walk-out basements). 

Am I walking into a half finished job?

So, if the one crew that worked on this job normally does $50,000 to $60,000 worth of business every month, then, I have to ask whether or not this $45,000 job was worth giving up $50,000 to $60,000 in business for very simple jobs that take 1 to 2 days and because the $45,000 job cost so much more for materials I figure that I lost a lot of potential business and would rather have walked away from the $45,000 job.Everything is about the final numbers and you have to do the math, diligently, or you never know the truth and only guess and invest blindly.

For example Ill give him a property he will walk through and give me an estimate on the rehab and an ARV which is what I’m looking for to run my numbers, but out of 10 properties he’s only done this maybe 3-4 times and I text him daily.

I do a walk-thru of my property recording the whole time.

I use a 'waking away amount' eg on one property-replacement cost 2 mil-paid 650 3 yrs ago now generating 130k gross annual income so I have it insured for 1 million + 12 mo income loss at which point I would 'walk away'.

Thinking about buying a 2 bedroom condo in Canton Center within walking distance of the two commuter rail stations.

Let them know you're ready to go with a hard money lender you've spoken to, and get an inspector to be ready to walk any prospective property with you (since wholesalers won't allow inspections.)
