My goal is to rent it out to start generating some cash flow.I’m planning to remodel the kitchen soon, and once that’s done, I’d like to move out to make the apartment available for renters.

Agent gets paid from the net proceeds unless the seller is unwilling to pay the buyer agent fee/commission, which in this case you do not have an agent; that agent would ask (if they were representing you) for the buyer/you to pay them their commission from a buyer broker agreement (if the seller was not paying commission).So it's the same difference, the seller will pay it (2%), and the agent will not come out of pocket for it.

Great opportunities to buy single family house and rent out the bedrooms.  

'You can not move it, you can not destroy it, if you move out, let me know.'

For networking and education, I recommend checking out CIREIA (Central Indiana Real Estate Investors Association).

Like you mentioned, the planter boxes were already there, the gravel walkway was already there, worn out, in need of work.

There are always deals out there and Texas is experiencing a return to normal with pricing coming down and supply staying up.

Quote from @Hanna Brown: @Jay Hinrichs If the bidder at the auction pays cash for keys to get the homeowner out, does the person redeeming from the owner position (exercising rights of redemption w/in 180 days) have to reimburse them for those costs they paid to get the homeowner out? 

I will finish the basement and rent out for about 1800 a month to minimize monthly mortgage

keep going after it. run lots of numbers and do a lot of underwriting. feel free to reach out at any time if you need help in your market. these properties that are 3 units are rented and then a cash out refinance that not only makes money but returns full capital to the investor on DSCR loans similar to the interest rate you mentioned above.
