(I can do this because the buy is more worried about the monthly payment than the total price.)To me that sounds more like installment payments for a piece of personal property than a mortgage...Am I missing something?

Build out, install new flooring/carpet and new paint should finish the job for you.

Then there's the cost of ripping out the walls, to install new water lines, new electrical, etc.

I'm not a FICO expert, but I thought any student loans through Sallie Mae would be considered installment loans and not revolving loans.

Some counties have that data available online too.

I searched the house online for some basic information, but was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions of what financial specifics I should request from her in order to determine if the property is worth looking into further.

I can't comment on your choice of product but here are my experiences.I just finished doing a 16mm engineered flooring install on our SFH rehab.I paid $2.50 sq ft & we installed the 1100 sq ft ourselves.I found it a lot more difficult & frustrating than the solid hardwood install I previously did.

Esp when they have friends stay over.I installed a 2nd bathroom in the older daughters (expanded) walk-in closet just to avoid the shared bathroom drama.With today's mtg rates & the opportunity of packaging your home in the sale of the less appealing/adjoining properties I wouldn't think twice.

I believe our water/sewage permits were around 2k, plus installation which we had a friend of ours help us with at a discounted rate.

I read the reviews online and it seems every printer has people that love and hate it.
