Hi,I went over all the fight necessary and the expenses to be able to close. 1 day before closing, when doing the last check, my agent ( who is the seller agent ) mentions that one unit is not vacant as requested in the contract.

So her unit is under an exact replica of her unit above her (Duplex).

If it was a 2 bed unit, I would have suggested renting the second room and getting a roommate.I'd figure out what happened with the first place before looking to invest in a second rental.

I certainly am not implying you can not achieve your goals in RE.  

I would guess that you could get this done for 6-10k per unit for the heat and you would probably need to tack on 2.5k per AC unit. I

Adding 5th unit is likely to cost much more than value added due to worse finance options available.  

Do you have a family member or friend who's achieved what you want to achieve?

@Anastasia MonroTo achieve financial independence in real estate, focus on boosting savings, improving credit, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, searching for properties with high rental demand, researching local laws and regulations, building a team, staying educated, preparing for property maintenance and management, and being patient and persistent.

Hey Nathaniel, I suggest defining your goals – what exactly do you aim to achieve? 

IS it worth investing not only 70k, but the brain damage and the time it takes to achieve the desired return.
