It's a relatively small investment which could effect you for years to come.  

I am relatively new to flipping.  

I’m a relatively new investor and looking to the BP community (which is great) to help me navigate my most recent lesson and potential actions.Let me explain.Just over a month ago I bought my second rental property, a duplex in a nice part of town.The property lacked general maintenance and was one of the reason’s I was interested in the property in hopes to force some equity.

We tore the toilet out, put a sanitary cover over the hole, took off a shower head, tore off the shower door, put both the toilet and shower head on the shower floor, placed an upside down box on top of both hiding them, randomly put the shower door in another room in the house, threw a bunch of other boxes and crap in there (it may have included boxed "first night in new home toiletries and celebratory whiskey"...), and I suggested that the agent use the term "storage closet" as he opened the door for the appraiser. 

Please note that I don't know how plausible they all are so feel free to comment:1) Write it into the offer that the eviction process has to be completed by closing, else I can walk.2) Ask for money back at closing to cover any fees plus unforeseen damages to the property.3) Walk away and find something else.Oh great, now I can't figure out how to get my margins back to what they were before....anyway, I haven't made an offer yet.

Hello everyone,I am a first time poster and relatively new to the real estate investing scene but I am kind of stuck on where I should take my next steps.A little about myself:I'm 25 and purchased my first property last year.
