@David Lilley Nice work! Is this your first self-storage investment? Do you find it similar to the multifamily you'd done?

Awesome stuff, everyone! I will take all of that into consideration. Thank you very much for the your time and input! 

Hello Fellow BP'ers!

I am currently looking at a prospective flip property that contains a septic tank and utilizes well water. I have zero experience with this situation. I am looking for some insight regarding legal/municipal mandates I may need to carryout, inspections and testing, average cost to ensure everything works properly and key items or big ticket repairs to watch out for. The house is in Pennesylvania and currently vacant. Any insight provided would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

@Eder Aldana my lists came from my agent but you can qualify your target audience further with something like listsource. 

@Manuel Salce I did roughly the same and, so far, received similar results. I am actively taking the advice  @Ehsan Rishat provided and I am continuing to reach out until the right deal(s) come along. I'd love to follow your progress as well. 

Best of luck,

Thank you, everyone. And good point, @Natalie Kolodij that's a solid tip!

Hey All...Can anyone from the Allentown, Bethlehem / Lehigh Valley, PA recommend a real estate friendly accountant? I have found some online who claim they have experience in real estate but a referral would be helpful as well.  

Thank you,

@Jason Behrens I am in the same position. I am working with Zator Law to draft up an LLC and plan on using them for legal guidance when needed. Let me know how you make out
