The question you want to ask the other side is if they are representing the seller or themselves.An attorney or agent that doesn't understand "agency" should get 7 lashes with a wet spaghetti noodle.A wholesaler usually is not going to own the property he is trying to sell.

I own just at $8mm in real estate here across 25 or so properties and am an agent.

*Selling Expenses – Realtor commissions, closing costs, and staging expensesA good way to gauge the maximum investment in a property is the 70% Rule, which states investors should pay no more than 70% of the after-repair value (ARV) of the property — renovation costs included.

Is this the only market you are looking at to invest in or are you open to out of state investing as well?

I always make my own spreadsheets....I trust the data more and can manipulate it the way I want to.....

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $45,000 My parents my wife and I own the property next to this one.

Hire an accountant—but maybe not for $6,000/yearA real estate tax pro can help you save money, but $6K a year is way too much unless you own multiple properties.

I am about ready to just manage myself from out of state and have a couple of local handymen help me out when things come up.

From owning this property, I have learned so much and overall it has been a great experience!

the ones that look good in Ohio or Alabama or whatever come with their own challenges.
