Running numbers and seller financing prophecies before you see it or find out the details through your agent to their agent is a waste of your time.

That's a waste of money for a ranch.

If you have six tenants paying $500 and have to manually determine who paid each month, that's a lot of wasted time. 

I don't want to start on my own, go on the wrong path and waste time and money.

Also look at the monthly bills for electric and heating....and if there is a pool(s) the water evaporation replacement costs.Does it have 100 year old chimneys that are unusable and crumbling, needing expensive scaffolding re-pointing or removal.I'm just pointing out there are LARGE dollar outlays beyond normal for these big Trophy Homes that it would be smart to budget for monthly.Do you intend to ride a lawnmower and cut the grass yourself or pay for it--etc...

Or they may just tell you there’s no chance so you don’t waste your time. 

So, this would cost you a lot of money, thereabout cutting into your profits.

If you are re-wiring the house, you do not have to demo all the walls, just the cuts to run the wires.

Is there an estimator that you know of so I dont have to waste time calling an insurance broker?
