Heck, there may be a friendly owner who is willing to give you a walkthrough and break down some of the repair costs. 

In my mind 70 cents on the dollar after repairs?  

Additionally, we are usually a month ahead on our mortgage payments to de-risk the timing.

I’m really just trying to give myself enough wiggle room in the event that I do miss some things, I will still be ahead, or at the very least at a break even point for the first few years.Do you know of any local meet ups that take place between Lynchburg and roanoke? 

So this is happening here:  http://www.wweek.com/news/city/2018/05/08/portland...As a landlord who does her own repairs, this is terrifying to me. 

The tenant/buyer put $10k worth of repairs into the place.

This would allow me to make initial repairs without being strapped for cash.   

The basic formula is ARV - Needed repairs - 3-5k for assignment fee = offerexample $45,000 - $10,000(repairs) - $5,000 (fee) = $30,000(offer)Hope this helps

What about the Maytag Man for every little repair fee?

The further ahead you try to predict, the less accurate you can be,
