Congrats on your success in Whatcom County @Frank Oliver!

Wouldn't the mortgage holder already have asked to be named on your existing policy? 

How many times have we heard, but I just put on a $20,000 roof. 

The transition isn't just about property size; it's about shifting your entire approach.I've observed that successful transitions typically happen when investors have:- Stabilized 5-7 single-family rentals with systems in place- Built relationships with at least 2-3 reliable lenders- Established a maintenance crew that can handle larger projects- Accumulated at least 6 months of operating expenses as reservesI asked a client of mine who owns a 420-unit multi-family in Nevada how he started his RE investment journey, and he told me that he started with a duplex in Buena Park, CA, 40 years ago and used the 1031 exchange to grow his portfolio to 420 units, never paid taxes on sale of any of his properties.The most seamless path I've seen starts with small multi-family (5-10 units) rather than jumping straight to 50+ units.

The seller backed out of the deal and didn’t show up at closing, but now the wholesaler won’t sign off on canceling the contract.Has anyone experienced something similar?

I have been an agent at Keller Williams for the last 3 years and have done a bit of wholesaling on the side. 

With that being said I do think there are some great potential calculators that might be better while on your phone on the go.

On one of our duplexes, the tenant on one side reported that the smell of marijuana is coming from the other side.
