Doing what’s been described will not maintain the aging on the original invoice though.

Looks like a decent deal, but I know nothing about the market this property is in (no mention of the city).

They mentioned something about a well inspection etc.

Listening to the BP podcast, I recall several people mentioning they have used them as well.How do coaches typically make money off somebody like me?

You’ll need to sign and have the tenant sign an EPA form that states you don’t know if there is lead (unless you test, you don’t know, even if you’re pretty sure based on the age) and provide a pamphlet about lead in your home.

If you are purchasing the property for cash, you can sign an addendum like @Al Murray mentioned.  

You also mention being trapped and needing to sell before buying, but with good credit and low debt, you should be able to use a bridge loan to buy a new home. 

I opened an account with Lowe’s and they mentioned something about anything over $1500.

She was in the wrong of coarse but why on earth would you rent out something like this with aged historic wood that you deeply cared about .

A couple thoughts- why wouldn't you live there for a year and take advantage of the benefits you mentioned above?
