Hello Noah, thank you for your vote of confidence!

My tenants think I take better care of them than their previous local property managers did.Here is how I went about it. 1) Zoom in on a zip code or two and study it - learn to work the numbers until you're confident.2) Visit the market and walk as many properties as you can so that you know what you will be buying, and understand the neighborhoods.

Currently under contract for a large off-market residential property.Quick details: 4,200+ sqft 12bed / 5bath (2 kitchens) (No a flood zone)(Light - Medium rehab / rent-by-the-room play)My partner has been a PM in this community for 20+ years and is highly confident in this deal (as am I).The current issue is, we aren't confident the property can close with a bank due to a few seller complications.( ^Very long story, but if you want to hear it I will tell you haha)We're looking to over-raise about $335k ($255k purchase and $80k for the rehab).But we (and our contractors) know the rehab portion will come in a bit lower.Can anyone point me in the right direction?
