Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Jack Wang, I can also say I often find people make these out to be bigger issues in their minds than in reality.I wouldn't dismiss Jack's list so easily, especially the environmental issues such as lead paint & asbestos.

This was my husband and I's first investment property that we purchased in 2017. We just fully renova...

With a savvy realtor and attorney, you can put forth a competitive offer that still protects you by waving the contingency with limited exceptions to mechanical, structural, environmental, and health and safety issues.

It's the Levi's 501 of real estate purchases -- never goes out of style.

We spend a lot of time furnishing and styling these units. 

The tricky part is if you switch contracts or have a gap on employment when you close, which happens in that style of employment. 

Same kind of style that David C. was mentioning with Crash Course.

For property managers and landlords in Orlando and its surrounding areas, the message is clear: a focus on landscaping can yield significant returns, both in terms of property value and in attracting and retaining high-quality tenants.For rental complexes in Orlando, adopting sustainable landscaping practices can significantly reduce maintenance costs while attracting environmentally conscious tenants.

My thinking is account for all expenses and hope that it being a new build will save me some time before having to perform cap ex style repairs (I do have about 50K cash on hand after the closing of this property so i feel comfortable with handling curve balls for a few years) New Build structure and neighborhood/school gives me hope that in 30 years i can still command a decent rent on a property 30 years old instead of trying to take something from 1970 all the way to 2055 and still get decent rent out of it .

I would suggest speaking with a loan officer who can break down the math for you to see the differences between these types of acquisition styles.
