Can you explain this section in more detail?

However, it’s important to ensure the area is safe. in those areas I would recommend checking local crime statistics on SpotCrime. you can use this link for an example,to get detailed information: https://spotcrime.com/map?

.✅ Investors - Keep detailed records of ALL rental property expenses to reduce your taxable income - helping your CPA spot additional tax saving opportunities.Imperative to use a CPA who is well versed in Real Estate tax code.My CPA is just that - DM me to get his contact information....

I'd love to utilize their expertise when assessing a property since they are local but I'm not sure what the general expectation is when I don't have a tangible property and I have not entered into contract to work with them yet.Some questions I have are: local regulations/permitting timeline, property's potential from their perspective, landscaping/amenities cost estimate (they also help facilitate this).

My initial guess would be look at 1 bed 1 bath rentals in the area but is that the best way to estimate?

Architecture did a design and well respected contractor estimated the buildout of 4 plex would be an additional ~800k for total project cost of ~1M. it would be ~1.2M for the 7 plex.  

I can disclose the property address and details if you would like to chat.

Proximity is a plus for managing the property, but make sure to run detailed numbers to confirm the cash flow and long-term potential align with your expectations.

.: I would personally ask for a price decrease based on whatever estimate they got for the installation of that equipment (assuming you can get a loan without those things - depends big time on the bank - my local banks would do it for me). 

Consulting a CPA is a must to navigate these nuances.Double-check these details with your lender and CPA to avoid surprises and keep scaling smoothly.
