Can she pay you that same amount to cover some of the costs? 

Next up is a huge financial hit: closing costs.

Nights, weekends, holidays, etc.To keep this on-topic, though...DO figure out what's healthy for you to manage but remember it's a process where every experience teaches you good and bad (and be patient with that process).DON'T sweat the small stuff (damage/costs under $50, undisclosed dogs, etc.) but DO find a way to learn, prevent, put in better practices to maintain your sanity.

What I like about multifamily is the splitting of costs.

For a solo team we have a plan for $147/mo that includes onboarding to connect your tools at sign up and anytime throughout your membership at no additional cost, and screen share training with our team.

I was one of the fortunate ones that was able to get out of the contract and after all expenses (forfeited deposit, legal fees, holding costs, etc) lost less than $20k.  

Let's use that as an example. 20% down is $43,000 plus lender loan origination fees, closing costs etc is going to push you over $50,000 cash out of pocket.

This approach ensures realistic pricing and helps avoid unexpected costs later.Good luck!
