@Mike CumbieOften times a HUD property comes back on after 8pm during the week so with a midnight deadline it can leave a small window.

Her details:Original purchase $190KUpgrades (to finish 2nd floor/ windows flooring etc) $22kApprox Value $300kHer Mortgage balance $110kWe have been looking into options of combining equity, initially to build but not sure if the scenario above is possible.

You are just tossing it out the window.

Be ready for windows wide open.4.

Windows, roof, plumbing were all done within the last 10 years. 

Currently there are no windows and strangely enough the parking deck is partially over this area so Im not sure if noise or water could be an issue.I def do agree if the construction costs are not insane it the bump in NOI +refi would most surely pay for itself.

There are brand new cabinets, appliances, water heater, HVAC, windows, concrete countertops, original hardwood floors, tile bathroom, tile kitchen backsplash, and huge backyard, Just to name a few.

The things to look for when you purchase are the roof, age of furnace & water heater, a clear sewer line, strong water flow (I’ve had 2 properties that needed the water line from the city replaced), and fully operable windows.

I may have a window of opportunity to return earnest $ and nullify contract BUT I need help figuring out a plan B.

Obviously paint and carpet wouldn't be a problem but windows, doors, even plumbing fixtures can present a problem.Around here, north of Seattle, people flip double wides on their own lot all the time.
