PS: Here is a detail tip.

I know it's over your budget, but is this the kind of property that would interest you: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/194-Joliet...?

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.

The key is a great contractor and a clear, detailed, well-thought-out scope of work. 

This is true whether those clients were on the optional recordkeeping program or not.I don't have a lot of details and am not personally involved in this program in any way, but I have experience with SEPiraK separately and they are a quality operation.You can reach out to info at sepirak dot com to learn more. 

They should certainly be able to provide a detailed account of labor hours and materials. 

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

@Brice Alef-Torrisi To manage finances for multiple properties, maintain separate bank accounts for each property if held under different LLCs to avoid commingling, which could jeopardize liability protection and complicate tax deductions.If properties are under one LLC, using a single account is fine but requires detailed record-keeping for each property.

An investor who is buying the duplex next to mine wants to trade a duplex he owns in a neighborhood nearby so he can have 2 duplexes next to each other (long story no need for those details).
