Bailes, I've delved deep into the complexities of vapor dynamics and the importance of tailoring retrofit strategies to the specific needs of older buildings.

As an investor-friendly agent here in Columbus, Ohio, I spend most of my time finding off-market deals and conducting deep dives to cater to my investors.

Now, feeling prepared and informed, we're ready to take a decisive step toward acquiring a duplex property by this summer, to begin building our rental portfolio.We're particularly drawn to the Pinellas-Hillsborough County areas, our childhood home, motivated by its long-term growth potential and our deep local knowledge. 

As a tenant I would not want to move in to anything that hadn't been deep cleaned since the prior tenant. 5-10 minutes?  

I am using a property manager and that costs 8% and I use 5% of rent as reapir reserve - this takes me deep in the red.

I hear what your saying  in Oregon and Washington though you will find VERY few doing PM work without a license out in the mid west deep south Rust belt areas you see it ALL the time.

@Diane Bonheur  There are a couple things you might want to also keep in mind before you are too deep in a deal.

With that occupancy, we should have been deep in the double digit returns. 

No communication or deep vetting of the property has been performed yet, since without money, the deal is a lost cause anyway.

I'm adding now Wrap to my vocabulary of course. my next question is where can I go or with whom I can talk to explain more in deep these options, the pros, and cons, and hire someone to help me and teach me all the paperwork that I will need to do properly and make a real offer, and to try to buy without traditional bank loans a property that I want for investment.Thank you so much for your help and time
