You should have a plumber put a camera down the sewer to check for breaks in the line or if it is septic, have a septic inspection.

but even with those it's still roughly 2x.I can't see any reason to stick with oil, based on your feedback and feedback from some of the plumbers I've spoken with. 

Talk to a plumber about how to install some basic water measuring devices on supply lines.

If you throw out offers to get them accepted and then back out or re-trade the deal, you can develop a bad reputation with the brokers and may be left out of future deals. 

@Chris Borunda If you are using a reputable agent to represent you, they will help you look for those red flags.

I probably paid too much for the bathroom remodel, but it's beautiful and it created a good connection with the plumber and his crew who did the remodel.

First off, forgive me because I know there are similar threads but I'm hoping I can get some very specific help.I'm in Google Sheets/Excel working out what was proposed to me and now we got three people with separate numbers.Scenario:General contractor brings me a deal: He will cover rehab costs in exchange for 50% split of profits and by providing me a hard money lender using his reputation, as I have not been able to qualify for one.Purchase Price: $410KRehab Estimate: $30KHard Money 10% Interest Only + 2 points @ 85% of total project cost.

I’m sure they are choosing reputable people but it’s still in the back of my mind as to how you can prove negligence on the renters part or this stuff just going bad.

Over five years with three boys ages three to seven, a great dane, three cats, one flood, and a chicken (don't ask about the chicken), that peel and stick showed zero signs of wear.People give Peel-and-Stick a bad reputation because it's almost the cheapest flooring out there.

Always have a backup to your main lender, just like you need a backup contractor, electrician, plumber, etc.
