My end goal is to sell it after the rehab, I just didn’t want to waste anyone’s time making an offer lower than what the bank took it back for if that just doesn’t happen in today’s market.

My question is this : am I fooling myself and wasting the sellers time or is there a way I can still close this deal?

If you have a slab you'll need to sawcut it to get a 4" waste line for the toilet installed and tie into existing waste line system. 

Although it was built in 1958, the bones on this Quad were solid and the risk of any major capex was quite low (knock on wood).  

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY....Speaking from experience!!

Where I’m having trouble is getting a solid $/sqft for that downstairs space as downtown rents are all over the place.  

For example, some agents have asked me to be preapproved by a lender, I assume they want to make sure I'm serious and not wasting their time.

Just trying to start my career with a solid foundation, and develop a long (and hopefully successful relationship).Any suggestions?

We can't predict the future, but if you look carefully at the growth data it’s pretty solid to support that Boise/Meridian is going to see healthy growth during the next several years.

@Jordon NicholsPre-qualification is not as solid as the Pre-Authorization.
