@Evan Polaskiyou nailed it - control and liquidity. 

Nailing down a buy box in the area, funding, and having a plan will come out of absorbing a ton of knowledge and narrowing down to what makes the most sense to you, what fits your life, and what fits your goals the best. 

Seeing how they were all brand new accounts and they have now been banned is the nail in the coffin for me!

Financing- build a relationship with a regional banker, don’t shop for interest rates, start small and build history and loyalty they are your team, Cross collateralize, deposit CD/MM or custodial account with bank for loan, give them monthly updates, nail your deal analysis, do stress tests on your deal analysis-cost/interest rate/deal length/ sale price etc. 12.

you know who he is right or maybe your to young :) Didn't go mate,In Toledo for a week in early July.I don't know Robert Plant and am disappointed that I don't know of him lol I grew up with my mum being a clean freak throughout my childhood so she would clean all day and listen to ABBA, Boney M, Bee Gee's, The 4 Seasons, Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, Hot Chocolate, etc...Wish I was born earlier mate70s and 80s music is the by far the best IMO lol lead singer for Led Zeppelin  watch  DC honors U tube with Nancy Wilson singing Stairway to Heaven she nailed it. 

It doesn't sound like you are ready to make an offer if you haven't worked to nail down estimates for these items and MORE like utilities, furnishings, etc.

Throw the word AI in there and they fight against it tooth and nail. 

You essentially nailed it.

Reading what you all I’ve had to say, which I very much appreciate, I’m a little concerned because it is definitely boutique and also very high-end in terms of style: stamped concrete wall, polished  concrete floors, chicum wall in the  kitchen… but there are only 10 units total. there is a coffee shop that will be on the first floor and as I mentioned it’s right on the border of La Valeta and Holistika.

Before jumping into out-of-state markets, make sure to nail down a few things.
