@Marc Zak look at the free calculator here on BP to see a pretty good model to analyze rental deals.

Hey man, congrats on the first deal! 

I'm currently looking at a Multi Family deal with Victor and Y Street Capital and was hoping to connect with someone that has worked with them in the past.  

If you can get in before a property hits the market, you can often negotiate a great win-win deal for everyone. 

Often times, there's houses or land worth $500k listed with an opening bid of $30k which is a fantastic deal; however, if you were to win the auction, there may be multiple liens and $100s of thousands of hidden fees that you have to pay at once (based on what I read online).

I don't think siding will really affect your appraisal - it seems to be more of a "does the house have functional siding or not" type deal

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Specifically, I am interested in learning more about syndications, working with lenders, lawyers, CPAs, and other professionals involved in cross-border real estate deals.

If you refused to buy it as a new primary, so you had to put down 20%, were unable to find a good deal and just bought at market price, didn’t hit a home run, etc…Imagine you only average 4.7% appreciation.

If you have mony in the deal and it is no longer bringing a proper return it may be time to move that money into another property that will return more.
