I just do not want to take this possibility off the table if it could help us really get moving in terms of number of doors we have rented out (a 2/3/4 door rental is an exponential increase in our cash flow, compared to the single family home we are planning to buy first). 

With high price per door and high rates, you wont find any cash flow.STR market is also very saturated and we're seeing more regulation there.I'd keep the end goal bigger multifamily deals.

If a seller can flake out in less than a month what can a seller do or at least try to do given a 3+ year span of time????

@Jewell ArceneauxFrom my experience, focusing on impactful upgrades like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and curb appeal yields the best results.

@Sunil Kale you're making this more compliacted than necessary.Follow @Nathan Gesner's outline and have your agent post a Legal Entry Notice on the door.

The owner had no money from the deal to cure the lien, and because we were already passed our 1031 exchange identification deadline, we asked what the payoff was and ended up paying out of the door $112k to close this deal.

You will likely need to pull out and cap the bathroom plumbing if the bathroom was not approved and remove the stove since the city is already on notice of it.

If door knob break (giving a simple example), Doorvest will charge me the price of door knob + contractor fees (Doorvest will not collect additional fees for themselves).

Feel free to reach out if you need anything while you are getting your foot in the door with real estate.

I own my house outright. I have approx $10m in retirement accounts. The target property is around $1.5m. What’s the best strategy to buy and finance?
