I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

If you are worried about out of pocket costs, see if maybe a rehab loan is an option to get everything needed done now and refinance in 3 months when everything is complete.

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

I'm looking to categorize my buyers and blast out a text message to specific groups whenever I get a property that fits their criteria.I'm sure services like this exist out there but I'm looking for the most cost effective one and I'd rather hear the best from you guys rather than from the salesman pitching their product.Does anyone use a platform like this and how does it perform for you?

I don't expect to know everything by then, but I hope to develop a basic strategy that prevents me from making the most common and costly mistakes that a newbie can make.

My 2 cents is prices are crazy inflated right now, but believe it or not I think it will continue because of continued demand pressure for the area from people fleeing higher cost of living areas and moving there, with access to 87/17.

After pointing this out, I would have expected the cost to be eaten by them.

The land is being sold as the investment is costly with all the illegal dumping and clean-up cost.

I have a confession: my only duplex, which I gave owned now for 2 years and recently moved out of from a house hack, has proven to cost me more to maintain/pay taxes/repair/fix etc to the point where my cash flow is close to zero.

Real numbers- purchase 907k,rehab , closing costs, soft costs, 840k, all in 1.747 mil, basis for each unit should be roughly 291kappraisal of each unit minimum 400k , so 2.4 mil if for all 6.I might refi only 4 out of 6, that will cover initial loan amount.
