I assume in the absence of HOA, you are basically left working out a deal with your neighbors if a common area is in need of maintenance or repair (roof, common walls, deck, porch, fences, driveway, etc.).

Mortgage is current.Sellers are very motivated but I to get the rehab completed with at least $10k profit(repairs include a healthy contingency %, and ARV is below comps as I know people will say this is a skinny deal) which means I need to get the property for ~$95k or below.Any ideas on how to make this a deal?

I've got the property under contract and using a private investor secure the $65,000 I need, with $45,000 going into the home, and $20,000 into repairs.

I saw them out walking their dog, so left a note saying I'd be back the next day to repair some minor things and would prefer they were home.

I started my flipping/rental career doing exactly what you plan on doing, living in the home and doing as needed repairs and then moving to the next one.

Repairs needed, cost, long term plans.

Currently I'm saving up and doing some repairs on this house as I plan to stay here for 3 years at least, buy another property and hold this in the future.

Tenancy gives you no right to make repairs.That owner already has a liability with you and your "team" in there doing work.If permits are required, you may be doing unpermitted work, the owner may suffer for that.You can't get permits in the name of an owner unless you're a contractor.Spend the money you have for repairs on an attorney, buy it, do a few less repairs and be more selective in what you do.

There are good comps to indicate $6,600/mo rent potential, after repair work.
