After putting about $50k into the property,  I’m just about $25k from meeting my completion goal that includes stucco, drywall, and siding.

I don't see any possible way to accomplish this goal. 

A small multifamily property is a smart choice for a first investment—it offers a great balance of income potential and manageable scale for someone new to the space.Don’t worry about being ambitious; it’s clear you’ve done your homework, and you’re already ahead of the game by setting a clear goal.

There are pros/cons to the bay area vs out of state and everyone's situation is different to reach their goals within their own timeline. 

I’d love to hear more about your goals and explore how we might collaborate to work together.

Figure out a question set that helps dive into their expertise as investor-friendly agents, ask about their experience in the investment real estate space, and have them send you a few properties that could meet your goals to show that they can provide quality properties for your to analyze (hint: this is also good to see if they overpromised on their market [ex - Raleigh for cash flow]).Also with the new lawsuit, any agent that knows what they're doing will require you to sign an agency agreement prior to viewing a home.

There are so many strategies you can deploy depending on your goals going forward. 

The goal is to move into another property by spring 2025 to do another live in flip and keep this property for a few years at least.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

My goal is to try and get a multifamily property a month or two after starting my job once I have the paychecks rolling in, to show my financial advisor.

Or free up more of your time depending on your goals?
