Craigslist just doesn't seem like a concrete enough place to rely upon.I plan to travel there later this month to look at places....any advice for when actually visiting?

The numbers in my fomula is more concrete fixed cost/income.Scott W. - Yes, $111k with no repairs, this house was in move-in condition with all appliances, I purchased it in Dec. 2011.

Agreed that it's a good idea to leave it to legal representation to sort out.Their attorney replied this morning saying that a certificate of occupancy was issued by the Town so the presumption was that the Building Inspector had inspected and found all construction to be compliant which would include insulation.

Paul, Minneapolis, or around the twin cities have a concrete/asphalt contact they'd recommend?

I need some concrete ways to help improve my appraisal cost after and if I can close on it.

I would look on Rentometer and make the mortgage payment to my buyer a few hundred dollars more than what it would rent for and calculate the mortgage on a 30 year fixed while collecting the info necessary to be compliant with Dodd-Frank. 

Not so much setting the actual corp up i know all that can be done online, more so on the structure in order to compliant for tax purposes.   

It was since stripped down to bare concrete floors and nasty paneling.

Even if we're off a little on this number, we're still in the 20% ConC Ret ballpark.Thanks SO much for anyone who takes the time to look at this!!

They are often a newer construction and have code compliant footings down past the frost depth even if they don't have a basement.
