Just attempting to get them to email/call me back has been difficult after I DID NOT choose to buy their services on the initial call.

I am aware of the formula you referenced in your initial response. 

The only “good news” is you’re paying for last year’s shortage and thsi year’s taxes, or this year’s shortage and next year’s escrow account. 

Was sold above the asking price                   within days of listing.High ROI: Achieved a 50% return on investment due to low renovation costs and increased sale price.Investor PerspectiveRecognized the potential others overlooked by seeing beyond the property's initial appearance andm aximized profits by investing wisely in visible, impactful areas.

Initially we did a light renovation on the rental unit and a larger renovation on the 1st floor.

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

You'd also need to establish a budget, and secure a master insurance policy. i THINK you need to do these things before reaching out to your municipality to have it converted officially with the county or city but they would be the first ask for steps in order.i will add, this would make financing on these units a bit challenging, as in the mortgage world, at least initially, they would be considered "non-warrantable" condos.

Before moving forward, negotiate better terms with the hard money lender you initially spoke with and ensure the seller is fully on board with second position financing.

You could do the BRRR method and the sneaky rental method (live in a house initially, then rent it out after, while light rehabbing.)

The culture shock hit us immediately, and we struggled at first—it wasn’t easy, but we were committed.Unfortunately, that initial investment didn’t pan out.
