I countered with 35k down but they wouldn't do it.And believe me I don't really want to fund the additional units with my money. 

I got a chance to drive a few of the neighborhoods to figure out where we want to buy.

If this is a $200 per night deal, get solid counters. 

I found this deal through "driving for dollars" in a neighborhood near the planned casino development.

That bathroom you mention may have to be torn apart and redone, it depends largely on the individual Inspector that you deal with.I would go to the County/City Building Dept counter and talk to them in person.

I'm currently using the propstream, redfin, and zillow trifecta as well as driving for dollars to find leads, then I cold call (Any recs for getting the right numbers?).

It's a great area within walking distance (5 minutes) to shopping, grocery, coffee shops, and historic neighborhood, and about 5 minute drive to downtown.They are asking $695K for it.

It's tough for out-of-towners to compete and find a good deal, but if you're here and can drive the streets in your neighborhoods, do that!

Unless you're 110% confident in the MF purchase and you can drive up the value of the building quickly (6-12 months) and then secure longer-term fixed financing to pay off the HELOC or loan. 

Do you mainly rely on driving for dollars, online platforms, or networking with other investors?
