Born and raised real estate agent here who can help :)

Do you recommend I use an agent for myself after I get the property under contract?

I will deal with the sales agents. 

The seller's agent said he had a lender that would lend on it.  

I'm pretty sure I could research and find the correct/safe/legal (as you all seem to put it) manner in which to remove/dispose of these potentially hazardous materials along with the right chemical/cleaning agent to pressure wash any meth residue from the structure's skeleton...With all that said, it doesn't seem like much fun and I think I will pass on this deal, and by the way I would be giving the same advice as everyone here if some anonymous "investor" asked about this online... so I appreciate the words of wisdom.The thing that isn't clear to me is: would I, or would I not be breaking the law by continuing with my "plan"?

Also, happy to put you in touch with my brother who's an agent nearby if you'd like to check out some properties -- either by browsing inventory online or viewing in person.Good luck!

Get your agent to pull comps for you to get an accurate value.

The primary Team members are Attornies, real estate Agents, CPA'ms (or accountants), Inspectors, General Contractors, and Handeymen.  

I have an appointment with my real estate agent to view the property on Wednesday August 17th at 12:30pm.

A few of the local agents are going to talk to us.
