Used Stuff is a problem- if you have them present during the lease out, the person will expect them to be in good working order.

Once I understand this type of 401k, I will start pursuing some of the options presented here in your posts.

He may not be trying to slip one past you, but is presenting his Standard Operating Procedure.  

Lenders need tangible information to convey, establish credibility and present to people inside the bank operation.  

Being a veteran, I presented Brian with the idea of helping the veteran community in Sonoma County.

I have concentrated my research on FL and in the Tampa area, for no specific reason or personal preference...In the past few weeks, I have been in contact with an agent/broker doing this kind of work and having a team for the closing/taxes etc.. able to manage the property and all, he seems good and has provided lots of time without asking for a penny (which is the job of a RE broker, only its a lot more time consuming when the buyer is not present ...)Now I have my eyes on a property (it will be the 4th offer through him, the previous ones did not go through) and I would like to ask seasoned RE investors here a few questions...The house is advertised as a duplex 2/1 + 1/1 but after the visit I was told that an extra split had been done so it looks now like a triplex 3* 1/1 ...

First off @Aly Thompson , welcome to BP.Make individual appointments with the contractors and in general if you can't be present at the flips on a daily basis, not all day but enough to make your presence felt so work progresses, then take @Will Barnard's advice and hire a PM.

In those cases, the most cost effective way to air seal and obtain any significant insulation is closed cell foam.I would prefer another material - I've even looked into  air-crete as an alternative - though it has its own embodied energy issues and there are claims it's not nearly as effective or stable as claimed.Many of the walls are in fair shape, but we will still be required to redo the bottom 8" if we remove the present hydronic baseboards in favour of heat pumps and/or resistant electrical baseboards.  

You'll then want to check the district court records for any judgments against past and present owners.

... and you've presented your offer, 'now I don't want you to do anything you will regret so I'll recommend you take 24hrs to think it over and consult with your family/friends if necessary but if you know what you're doing and want to get this over with right here right now by all means let's move forward with this(then push the paper forward)' how successful would you be?
