make sure you take screen shots of the listing before you talk to them as it is easy enough for them to change it.If not and you will lose money on the deal putting it in, sometimes you need to walk away rather than throw good money after bad. 

If you don't know what you're doing, chances are it will make you SUPER nervous to have someone nearby, and you want to be able to swear and throw a tool once in a while!

Just throwing another perspective out there for anyone who wanted to consider it.

Hey man I'll throw in some advice for a fellow active duty guy working side investments.A few folks have mentioned you should look into buying a duplex or fourplex, I love the idea, I think for a young guy starting out doing a "house hack" is the way to go for sure. 

Listed at $105k, I throw out a $90k and 100% of closing offer with a home warranty, (I am thinking oh they are going to laugh but hey who knows) 20 minutes after we made the offer, it is accepted and they want to close on the same date as the other property. 

-can you set some benchmark costs when you go in, to throw some lower costs out.

I have a personal finance scenario where I'd like to know what other people would do if they were in my shoes.In January 2021, I'll be about 18 months away from being completely debt-free (I'm currently renting for $1825/mo in Los Angeles) and I'm wondering if I should start investing at that point or if I should wait.Once January hits, I'll have two loans left:$45,000 on a car loan @ 6%$24,000 personal loan @ 15%  Minimum payments being $1125 and $437 respectively.After all of my monthly expenses I'll have about $2500 per month to either throw towards debt or I can start saving for everything I need to buy a duplex or triplex that I'll househack in.

Today I received the inspection report and it stated that there are multiple things wrong with the house and that would throw our rehab budget to extra 10-15k.

Rents in the area for a 3/2 are 30% higher than a 2/2, there is a school a stones-throw away and the yards will be comparatively large in order to accommodate ordinances and the lot.

@Jon Schwartz agreed the fact that "The Great California Exodus" is even a thing that people talk about definitely throws some unnecessary and misunderstood shade on the state.
