Congrats on the first deal!

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

I’d recommend using Excel or a tool like Trello or Notion to track what you need, compare deals, and stay on budget.

I did public record searches on all the tenants while I was in the process of buying the building just so I'd know who I was going to be dealing with.

I want a spreadsheet that will track my returns over the lifetime of the deal.

Alternatively, happy to be a resource should you need help identifying opportunities and analyzing deals. 

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

It’s clear that there’s an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience here, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with this community.I’m looking to connect with members who are open to mentoring or collaborating on real estate deals, particularly in buy-and-hold strategies for single-family or multi-family properties.

That was an excellent non-answer to my question, Skyler. hihi :)No they are not all the same. some are only interested in dealing with conventional purchases other are as you say better at handling assignments or double closes, some are commercial specialty, etc....A investor friendly one would be, at least from my point of view, one that understands there may need to be some last minute wheeling, dealing, and adjustment made to close a deal, understand what needs to be done and do not freak out about creative deals.Maybe my understanding or thoughts are wrong but that's what I meant by investor friendlyregards :) 

Sounds like you're on the right track for areas to find deals.
