For me the area I was concerned with was estimating costs.

Is this a concern for other users?

I have a few commercial bank contacts, but concerned they may just cut me out of the deal.

My biggest concern is the basement.

To whom this may concern, I am an investor looking to buy my second property.

This is (1) not something I'd recommend to a beginner, and (2) not something I've been able to do yet. 

It's a beginner's oversight.  

They push their offer without listening to the seller’s story, concerns, or goals.

THEN, I plan to purchase the second home using a FHA or conventional loan (3%-5% down), for which I will likely pay the monthly cost out-of-pocket, maybe with some rental income support if it is a duplex.My concern is, I do not want to spend my savings or weigh down my debt-to-income ratio so much so that I cannot qualify for and pay the down payment and closing for the lending on the second home.Questions: - With the first home being multi-family, 75% of the rental income (or potential rental income initially) will relatively either maintain or boost my debt-to-income ratio from lenders' perspectives, right? 

The contract with the wholesaler also expires on Monday the 27th, so I have my concerns about this just being a stall tactic to get out of the contract.
