Ruel, you may be able to find a contractor that will walk the property and give you an estimate, but it may be tough, sounds like the Realtor gave you some idea of the rehab cost and depending on how much you trust him, sounds like he may have told you a number that may get you the house. so 205K plus say 65K for rehab puts you at 270K. you have about 10K in purchase closing costs about 22K in closing at sell, if your intention is to flip the property ( if sold for 320K) so now you are in for 302K plus holding costs, maybe another 10K, so 312K. you could make 8K in profit, if you sell at 320K. i am guessing this is a foreclosure being that you said that not having a home inspection would make a difference with the bank in selling it, because most lending banks would want a home inspection. you can have an inspection for your own piece of mind but still waive the inspection.

I couldn't believe it.Dudes sold house for $401,000. 

The tenants rental property will cover all of their personal belongings and since you are using a PM company I would assume you will not be keeping any landscaping equipment, tools or possessions at the premises to need that much coverage.
