Also, attached is a screenshot of a notification I received of a reply to this thread; however, it seems like the account was closed already.

I have to ask: do you have to move to San Diego and be close to the ocean?

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

The property owner did not leave the property as required at closing.

To close the loop on this story, we hired Rick Dempsey (who was fantastic by the way, highly recommended if anyone needs a MA-base SE...Matt Kelly, we really appreciate that referral!).

I just did one for like 28k, was a little short on a closing cash purchase. 

If the interest rate are close, then you should pay off the primary. 

This is going to keep your bid honest, rather than lazier and keep your cash position stronger. 4) The only time you spend in this, is finding & closing on the quality assets and playing devil's advocates for repair/rehab/fixing costs.

Each closing, whether multi-family or single family, is going to have some of the same costs: title insurance, attorney fees, inspection fees, appraisal fees, fees associated with financing, etc.

and only close IF they find a buyer to either pay for the contract assignment or pay a higher price for the property?
