@Ambica Pilli - I'm not a multifamily investor in NC, but I would suggest you look at the active listings in the area on loopnet.com and see who are the active brokers.

For this type of a question I would suggest posting it in the multi-family forum. 

Any suggestions I appreciate in advance.Worst case, I'll just create something for him and walk him through things as he goes, but I'm thinking, why not document it for us both (no plans to publish or anything though)!

My one suggestion: do not conduct business with anyone (here or anywhere) without having your lawyer and maybe even your CPA reviewing all the paperwork.Also, stay far away from LPs.

If you don’t need cash flow in the near term, my suggestion is to use depreciation to defer taxable gains.

From a landlord perspective, its great to be able to provide these simple services/amenities at no cost to us, yet empower the tenant to enroll in programs like this.

For it to be $250 MORE than usual, suggests something else is up. 

Lowering the credit score threshold slightly could widen your pool while still screening responsibly.Also, ensure your pre-screener is clear and easy to access—unanswered inquiries suggest it may need adjustment.

So check the contract again to verify.I like @Wayne Brooks suggestion of finding out the needs of the seller and offering a delayed closing if that would help their property search! 

Hi @Paola Astrid majority of time anything  Newark, NJ I suggest selling if you can.
