They say something to the effect “ what is the timeframe you’re looking to close?

When working with Civil Engineering, Is it best to simple pick on firm and go with them, Or is the 3 quote rule in effect at this stage of the process? 

I also wouldn't be opposed to using a 203k loan to finance and renovate a multifamily to house hack and rent out (I know it's a lot more work and harder to achieve but I think the potential could definitely make it worth while, especially with the up coming changes going into effect soon). 

This is the most cost effective strategy if you have a limited budget. 

These have been effective across both multifamily and single-family homes, and I thought they might spark some good conversation!

As I've learned more about analyzing properties I have quickly discovered we had to make some changes to our current rents and with changes going into effect next month the property will cash flow around $675/month, we only have about 7 more years on a small lean we have on the building, after that it should cash flow around $1000/month and be paid off with no leans. 

I'm trying to move from SFH long term rental (one-off's) to building an actual portfolio focused in multifamily and growing from there.I can feel myself getting buried in spreadsheet-mania and the BP deal analyzer tools -- and is a soul-crusher. 

What methods are you finding most effective, or what are you hoping to try?

Quote from @Bob Billingtonz: You gave them the tools, but they refuse to use them.Based on what you've shared, I would give them a short, professional notice that tells them to abide by the lease or give 30 days' notice and move out.

The reality is, cold calling, direct mail, PPC/SEO, referrals, and strategic partnerships all have the potential to be effective.
