Looking for pricing on waterproofing a 700 sq ft basement. Rental property is located in Grant Park IL 60940.

@Chris Eaker  & @Bob B. thank you both for your response.  They did leave the washer and dryer.  Now on to getting it renter ready!

Closing is scheduled for Monday on a rental property I'm buying "as is". Just now received word the washer & dryer have been removed. The contract lists them being sold with the property. My question is: do I ask for a credit? Or just go ahead and close Monday? Thoughts...

Welcome!  Fellow Joliet investor and local Real Estate Agent.  The rental market is hot right now.  If you see something, do not drag your feet making an offer.  They are getting picked up as fast as they are listed.  Good Luck!  

I am not familiar with Section 8 rental, in my experience the rent price can be negotiated depending on the owner.  

Everything I'm told is 3 years from date of discharged. Mine was filed 10/2013 so I just applied for a loan myself. They want me to put down at least 15%.

As a Real Estate Agent have 6 clients that will buy and or sell properties. And purchase my first fix & flip and 1 rental. It doesn't seem like a lot but I do have a full time 45 hour a week W2 job.

Aaron Howell I guess I left out some important information. I am a Real Estate Agent so my boss purchased the property from me back in May as a flip. He became very busy with his other business so this house was put on the back burner. Once I saw everything he's done so far, i asked if I could buy it off him. So with that being said, since I was the Agent who sold him the property and he is my W2 employer, it is very hard to say I don't know him.

Derrick Moore this is a SFR

Is there a way around this? The person selling the house is my W2 employer. Since I know him the loan officer said I have to put down 15%. I cannot do a conventional loan since its only 3 years from my bankruptcy. Is there possibly another option for me to purchase the property? Thank you
