Ken Dunn, excellent information, I was told by a roofer that he would absorb my deductible cost, well never heard back from him after he spoke with my insurer! 

While @Grant Thompson is certainly correct in saying that there are tons of free resources and meetups available, and that should absolutely be utilized, how long will it take you to meet the right people or absorb the knowledge needed to succeed in multifamily?

I've found one potential C- SFH off market, but I'm still evaluating it.At one point, Jackson was a major destination for out-of-state investors, but that surge seems to have absorbed a lot of the good SFH opportunities.Any suggestions for the best way to approach the current market?

As noted a small increase will likely be absorbed with increased demand, but a large increase to stem off systemic inflation will push us into negative leverage.  

Unfortunately, since I waived the inspection on the property and purchased as is since it had a clear CO from my city I have to absorb the cost. 

I am very new to real estate just watching podcast and videos trying to absorb as much as I can.

That being said, if the cash flow is good enough with current rents that are all stairstepped to move up over the next 2-3 years, then exiting, i could absorb a longer time frame barring anything terrible happening financially to us. 

@Edward Carrillo my advise would be to read books and absorb as much information you can here.
