I didn’t realize the margins on rentals were that slim!

The chances of you finding an owner of a unit on this platform are slim but possible.I'd recommend contacting Realtors/investors by searching for BP members that operate in this area.To take things a bit further, you can search online for recent sales in the building and contact the agent(s) involved.

IMHO, this will greatly impact those who have very slim margins for down payments, less liquidity, and the lower-middle class. 

If you hold it long term the chances of it *not* appreciating are slim.

The possibility of this happening are slim to none though in my opinion.Hope this helps

The margins seem pretty slim if you rent it out (I didn't see any assumptions for mx or pm built in).

It is really market dependent, sometime you can make a good amount because it is a growing market, or if it is a heavy entitlement process you may have to slim down your margin because you need to keep in mind that the end buyer will need to take the land cost plus construction and will work backwards to see if it meets their investment needs.I am definitely open to a mastermind,  I will be honest, I am still young in my career and don't know if speaking to people that would have a great deal more experience than me be effective, but always great to network with others in the industry. 

Realistically, the odds of recovering any fees for correcting a poor paint job with a professional would be slim.

Some think of exterior paint as a lost cost, but I don't, but if your margins are slim you'll want to get a power washer and do what you can.

Based on 12 months of trial and error, for me: 1) WASTE OF TIME: Looking at on-market listings and running numbers...slim pickings here.
