You may not have experience buying a multifamily properties, but presumably you have done things in your life.  

Learning macro-economics led me into real estate and crypto, as they are both potential life rafts in this sinking financial system.

My parents lived in it for almost a decade, while I've had my own career, homes and life out of state. 

Hi Micheal,If it were mine.HUD gives a 15 year service life for cabinet tops.For instance if the age is 10 years, meaning 5 years (33.3%) of the service life leftI would charge for 33.3% of the cost of the replacement (parts and labor) that I had to write a check for.Owner labor is typically not billed, because you don't cut yourself a check for the labor.Make a point of telling new renters not to put hot pots or irons on the new surface (they probably didn't know any better).Here is a service life list for you.  

I've had surface level intro into Real Estate, both through research and through real life experience.

Case in point the area where I live has many houses downtown built on cedar post foundations, which are at end of life, and its a hot market, so what it appears is many investors just do nothing with the foundation if the house is within a couple inches of level even though the posts are rotten and will cause structural issues a few years down the road. 

But I'm really passionate about real estate and want to help others get into investing, or even just homeowners who want to get the best value on their biggest purchase in their life.

We also say Atlanta but folks may also mean the metro area .. which have a life of their own as well.  

Appliances do not have that long of a life-span.

Plenty of delays due life issues the seller was dealing with, but we all stayed the course and completed the transaction.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
