I personally would not agree to pay these costs, but if the deal is sweet enough.....  4.

Your agent is probably trying to push you into a deal (they work for commission, remember that golden rule).I actually bought my first property for less than what the seller wanted, all cash, no financing, closed in 7 days, well below the assessment and nearly 40 percent below average market price, rented it out and hauling in sweet money now.

Personally, I love investing, great food and wine, and live in Manhattan with my wife for the last 20 years.

Massachusetts as an example.Is there a particular sweet spot (lower end of the market vs. middle or high end) for doing high volume wholesaling?

Love cooking, going for walks with my dog, living the single life, traveling, a good dry red wine, and face massages.

@Toyin Dawodu Seems like a guru whispered sweet nothings into your ear.Rental income is passive and tax advantageous.

@Donald Patterson , I agree with @David Kohn  -- this could be pretty sweet if you could get it for no more than about $125K.  

Add minimalist staging- a few wall effects, a plant or two, a few wine glasses and a plate out on a kitchen counter, etc.Better: Order your photos chronologically, as if they're in the exact order that a buyer would see as they walked through the house.

Is Windsor close to the wine country?

Build in PM and a maintenance person costs and offer accordingly.If you have to assume self managing and making your own repairs to make the numbers on this deal look sweet then do not do it.
