beginner mistakes to avoid

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has some common mistakes to avoid when first starting out in long term multi-family rentals. I am currently looking at a multi-family foreclosure that needs about 60K in repairs, the numbers look good in the rental estimate calculator. Any suggestions on what things to look out for, and or questions to ask contractors and inspectors would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

    @Devan Dorzok

    don't buy something out of state that you haven't personally seen

    don't start with a major rehab

    don't trust spreadsheet math

    start with a house hack
