Welcome to the group.As you embark on building and expanding your real estate portfolio, one of the most important steps you can take is establishing a strong, proactive asset protection strategy.Real estate investing offers great potential, but it also carries inherent risks, from lawsuits and liability claims to unforeseen creditor issues.

Has anyone successfully executed a subject to deal with similar circumstances and if so how did you structure it so the bank was on board?

Am I going to *** off my realtor with all this work and unforeseen commission? 

Quote from @Dalton Foote: @Patrick O'Sullivan Agreed, units managed and circumstances matter @Dalton Foote Company valuation is a big factor that often gets overlooked.

Run the numbers in advance to avoid most of the unforeseen issues.The Banker/Loan officer's job is to help navigate you as the buyer/client to steer away from bad deals.

If I'm paying 10% or 12% is somewhat irrelevant if I refi or sell within a year, but the ability to borrow $100K or $125K is much more significant since that extra 25% is my cushion for unforeseen expenses on a project.

Different circumstances entirely.

Make sure you have a good contingency of 4-10% to cover un-foreseen or missed items. 

I threatened suit against the original owner alleging an unjust enrichment claim which was valid given the circumstances.
