I think investors miss out on some free money when they don't check out some of those sweet rebates for things they are already doing (windows, insulation, ceiling fans, toilets, plants, etc.).  

In other words, lenders may have raised rates in the middle of the day had it not been for the slide in oil prices.

My fear is something going south with this purchase and us not getting a loan in time and someone else buying the property before we can.The asking price for the home is 85k, needs possibly a new roof, HVAC, the pool is in bad shape needs new equipment, walls have holes punched, and windows all need to be repaired, this will be a full rehab.

The types of people you will need are the ones you listed above but also roofer, window man, granite supplier, attorneys, accountant, bookkeeper, real estate agents, insurance agents and many more.

Even with the nice windows at ground level, residents tend to prefer above-ground.

We can tell it has been abandoned for a while all the appliances missing, coper striped out of a few, broken windows, kicked in doors, and possible sqauters.

It needs everything, but we're starting with: roof, HVAC and windows.

The building has exterior walls and windows, fire suppression, HVAC, elevator, roof, plumbing and electrical connections on each floor.

i.e. window breaking door?

Opening the basement windows provided some airflow but did not reduce humidity at floor level.
