Detroit Police won't respond quickly and why would a PMC head over in the middle of the night to get shot?

I would add that you should definitely checkout some local real estate meetups as that's the best way to quickly build a buyer's list. 

Stuff that is good to look into, it does cost a good amount to pay each month, but there are people who want to sell today and need a quick offer.  

**Disclaimer**: Being young, I don't have a lot of responsibility so I am fine with being more hands on now to be able to have more time to spend with family later on.My what: I'm looking to buy small multi-family property to house hack and gain equity quickly over the next few years.

Just go through them, select the renovated/closely matching ones, and enter them into a model.Here's my fix & flip model, you can see the comps entered and some quick stats below them: Then I use that comp data to adjust the Sale Price in the model to what I estimate it will be (double check the resale $/sf is in-line with the comps), then adjust the purchase price until I hit my desired return level. 

It's never a quick closing with conventional loans. 

You also may need to work quickly to make offers and bring a deal together.

The owner was an older gentleman who wanted to sell quickly without the hassle of listing, showings, and back-and-forth offers.

There are ways for the smart, savoy, and willing to educate themselves fast, folks who want to build wealth in real estate to do it now and rather quickly as compared to most other industries.
